What's also surprising is just how many folks have joined the forum and have never even posted once, and just how few there are who actually have avatars. The "regulars" of course do, but that's such a small percentage of the whole.

I haven't been too active here for a while, but what I've noticed is how the posting traffic has dwindled drastically in the last couple of years. These days you can go for days without seeing a new post in the "stereo" or the "advice" forum, or; whatever forum. Used to be that each forum had new updates all the time!

What happened? Has Axiom gotten too upscale or just too mature and lost a lot of the exuberant entry-level folks with all the enthusiasm and excitement that getting into a new hobby can provide?
