Did you hear anything back from the FRA, Ocracoke? It does feel like the forum is a bit... neglected. It's not very heavily used and there's no mod/admin presence as far as I can see.

If there's no real interest from the FRA to maintain it then I rather fear that the whole thing will just stop working one day in the not too distant future. It's a bit sad, as I think this is a much better medium to keep track of discussions and of people's work than facebook and the like. Unfortunately it seems most people prefer facebook to message boards and so I guess that's where they've all gone.

I can totally understand there's not much point maintaining the forum if it's not being used much, but it's still a shame.
