What happened to all the posts
Is it me or are the number of posts declining here? Do I need to adjust my settings or is everyone doing something else? Thanks, Curly

Been a few years since I have posted anything, I actually had a lot of real world experience to share. Started camping in 1971 and have owned or restored every type of rv out there.
The problem I had was "know it alls" that would argue and name call with anything that wasn't their idea. They could search the internet and provide links to opinion blogs that they used to provide "facts" here. If you disagreed with them, they would stalk you on different posts and try to discredit you, name call, and even send nasty private messages to your friends about you. You could report them to the moderators and they could get banned, but within a week they were back, posting under a different username.
This got bad enough that many actually started their own forum boards and poached member away from here. Most of them failed with the growth of social media, but the damage was already done.
After being away for a few years, and then returning, I have found I can get better information from dealing with mfg. web pages, directly.
