Oh its still populated and doing on-topic things. Theres at least a dozen frequent posters who seem to look in daily and at least two dozen posters who look in regularly. Not a highly active forum, granted, but alive and comfortable.
The pessimistic part of me wonders if the admins got tired and let the captcha subscription expire so they wouldnt have to fight constant ad bot registrations. The active users are all pretty well behaved... by the standards and under the rules of the nook, anyway
so this means no work for admins.
We need to appoint some new admins from the folks that check in more or less daily.
