Where have all the members gone on this forum?

Couldn't figure any other place to ask this question... I've been here since 2005. Have no idea how many posts I've done during that time. Back a several years ago I could ask a question about something and get numerous answers quickly. In the last couple of years I've noticed a very real decline in the activity on RV.NET. So, where has everybody gone? Other forums, Facebook, etc.

Can't afford the price of Fuel:(:(:(

2374 posts.

I believe you have posted 2,374 times since joining…about 12 times per month.

A lot of answers are available out there, yes by searching here -and also YouTube etc. I think readers in general have shifted to video. Or they're just enjoying their travels :-)

Let me check.......
YUP I'm still here.:E

Members are either camping or are too busy with life, I know When I am out RVing I don't have time to get on any online forums, although I do check online forums periodically when I am homebound. Still spend more time perusing this RVing forum than other related online forums, it is not just here as I have noticed waning participation on all the online forums I visit.

I’ve noticed the same. New posts usually decline over the winter months to less than a page but the summer months usually had easily 2 pages of new posts per day. Today including this post there wasn’t even half a page. Sad.

Summer starts tomorrow get ready.
The lack of new posts could be because newbies have read every post on every facet of RVing and have no new questions.
We trained them well.

There have been a number of threads here, on this topic.
Have you noticed that the Beginning RVing section has been dead for a long time. You would have thought that, during the all time record RV sales of the pandemic, the Beginning RVing section would be flush with new members seeking help. But many new members have been chased away so there's no new blood.
And probably many have gravitated to their brand's owners forum or Facebook groups that own their particular model.
