Why is the Class B forum so dead?

I'd say it's the proliferation and commonplace of $100,000+ Class B's. Same thing has happened to the truck camper market too(They aren't cheap anymore).

I'm sure both the Class B and TC manufacturers are wondering "what happened to our market?" Priced themselves out of their own markets.

I think if you have been on the B forum for a while you will notice, in the last year, a trend towards less expensive models of Class B's. Not everyone needs the newest tech, and manufactures are starting to realize that. At least I hope they are.
I don't think price equates to the Class B forum being slow though.
Most of the posters on here never were new B owners. Also, the older the rig, the more help the owners need.
I think the weather, the fact manufactures have their own FB pages, other B forums, and blogs, all are contributing factors to the "slowness" of this forum, as well as the other RV.net forums.
I also think the attitude of people has changed. More argumentative posts, and Trolls. Just not as friendly a place as it use to be,
Another factor may be, not many questions being asked that haven't been asked and answered numerous times, but that is just the nature of forums, and what happens when a forum has been around for 15 years.
I use to try and keep threads on topic, but got tired of people sending me PM's about why posts were deleted, even though I always posted, in the thread, at least a couple of times, to please keep posts on topic. It started to feel like I was teaching a bunch of school kids again. I think most members liked the stricter moderation, but the ones that didn't could be pretty nasty, and after a while I got tired of it. Is this one of the reasons this forum is slower that it use to be, maybe, but I don't know. I know this, I offed the Mod job to several people, and got no takers. :)
