i'm still around though guilty as charged for not popping in enough . plus been a really bad year for birding up this end of the world ...that coupled with high fuel prices has restricted getting out ,I had a bad accident in late oct resulting in my face and knee having a argument with a mountain top that laid me up for 5 weeks then got covid just before xmas and now its the bitter wind chill on the welsh coast thats pinning me down .
  will try to pop in more often also upgraded my camera body to a olympus E.M1X  which although bigger gives me birds eye i.d and full tracking extremely pleased with it plus prices have dropped by 2/3rds in a year

Well I have to say that I have other distractions at present with my daughter suffering from leukaemia.  Also most of my photography is done pn my Fuji cameras.  Not that that would stop me posting.

I think a monthly subject may stimulate some interest or at least impetus to go take pictures.

Sorry to hear JK, here is Hoping that your daughter will get Better soon .

If you try to paste a pic to the reply box  that is exactly what you will get - the image "blob" - use the blue cross in the editor toolbar to upload your image or use the attachment  box below the editor to upload the image as a file attachment

I personally think the main problem is faceberk and Twitter , yesterday I went through my flickr contacts and culled loads who had not posted for over a year , some I know are deceased but others are now posting on faceberk instead . , forums in general seem to be retracting the only online forum that i regularly visit that’s showing any growth is the olympus E group u.k forum ,and that’s probably down to the release of the OM1 camera body ..a lot of wildlife photographers I personally know have changed from  canon,Nikon to Olympus due to it ..
     Even some that changed to Sony initially have now either changed to Olympus or are running both systems

I follow very few people on Twits and rarely post - as for face ache I never post and only use the messenger to communicate with people I know irl. Ditto Instagram and Whatsapp - there is so much crap on the social media platforms posted by morons, they can stay there and leave the fora to people who have something sensible to say.

Maybe that is the real problem - there are so  few of that type of person.

The horse fora have all declined except for Horse & Hound - and that is SO catty!
