There was a time about a year ago IIRC when usenet forums seemed to
just drop dead. rec.autos.driving used to be a very active forum. It
went from active to dead in about a week, just as this forum did at
about the same time. Other forums not so much but stills show a
decline.

People using other media now?

Harry,

I think you may have broken the code. Take for example Bob Kuykendall's
HP-24 project. He use to update his progress regularly on his website
(http://www.hpaircraft.com/hp-24/) As you can see, there was a seven month
laps between updates. However, I've been following his progress on
Facebook.
(http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/HP-...t/200931354951) and
Brad's page. (http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.p...0000118564546).

Most likely what is occurring with the HP-24 is being replicated with other
projects. I know it is even true on my website. (http://www.soaridaho.com)
It seems that it is a lot easier to add pictures to a Facebook album
(http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...0588508&type=1)
than update a webpage.

The problem with Facebook is that by its' nature posting are limited to whom
you have defined as "friends".
