Why hardly any posts?

Here it is our first winter of retirement and it's like this section has died.
I was hoping to learn all kinds of things, is everybody gone to a different site/forum? There have been days at a time with zero posts.
What gives?
And yes I know how to search, but that's history for the most part.

    Just my opinion.

  • Maybe folks got tired of responses on these forums, such as,... thats been asked before, go do a SEARCH on these forums. ... Why don't you read what the manual says. ... What does GM, Ford, Dodge say. ... Check the rules for your state. ... Go to the Escapees Web site. ....

    Well, after getting responses like that, I'd probably leave the forum too.
  • Ask questions, share experiences start new threads, stimulate the discussion. But it is true posts are way down. The novelty has wore off.

    I monitor the 'Newest' posts from all sections. Good stuff.
    That's just what many of us do. A lot of topics being discussed overlap multiple forums.
  • NOT just here.. many Forum's are way down... regardless of Hobby..

    many went to Facebook.. or other types..

    on a motorcycle forum I visit.. 2 years ago.. 4,000 per day..
    this winter its 200. and some days 3 to 5 post per day.
    ALL BUT DEAD.

    as for Snow Bird,, I seen the Good Sam Pickup truck yesterday at this campground. it had OHIO plates.
