Group Activity

No, not as long as the insulting flamers have access to it. Lack
moderation allows a few nasty folks to destroy a group,

Flamers & trolls are basically attention seekers. Deny them the attention they
seek, and they will eventually dry up and blow away. The problem (OK, the
near-impossibility) is getting the entire group to "agree to ignore".

It may be due to my service provider, or maybe with the passing of a few key
members the overall activity has significantly diminished.

The main reason for this message is to get some feedback on whether this is
still a viable Homebuilt Aircraft forum.

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".

There are actually multiple reasons, not the least of which was ISP's such as
AOL and WorldNet shutting down Usenet access to their customers. This happened
about the same time that Google opened the door to spammers, and then looked the
other way as the groups became flooded with spam.
