It has been almost like a graveyard on this site of late. Is everyone ok?

I am working 7 days a week right now trying to survive. Barely finding time to code between deliveries. I pull out my netbook and immediately have to put it away again. Nerve racking.

But I feel the pain, the only activity on my forum is new spammers registering daily for me to delete. Where's all the coders? There's less than 30 of us between most of the forums I see.

There's a similar situation at allbasic.info ... I'm virtually the only poster aside from the admin and maybe one or two others.

I am really sad to see that hardly anyone posts to petesqbsite anymore.

The times are rough, but I think we're used to it. Lone wolves trying to form a pack.

I think it may be "the nature of the beast". Basic has been around for a "long" time and it seems that it does not have the same "attraction" that it once had... *sigh*  I am actually surprised that it has lasted 'this' long... It's the same for us over at rcbasic... It is still being developed but our membership is small... but we are still here...
