I just recently revisited this board after a long absence...and I regretfully agree with you. I could speculate as to the reasons why the frequency of posts is down, but I'm sure everyone would come up with the exactly same reasons.

But what I would like to do is take a moment to thank Martin for keeping this place going after so many years. I signed up here 10 freaking years ago, and I think I lurked even before that. More importantly, everyone who has ever been here knows that this is and has always been the preeminent place to discuss NES collecting.

NES collecting isn't dead -- now where is everyone?

The forum activitity hit an all time low a few years back and never recovered. Stuff kinda happened over night and If only I knew what I did wrong around here, I could've at least have made an attempt to fix it.

I know a lot of members moved on to nintendoage.com while others just dissapeared.

Fact is that there isn't a need for several NES forums and NintendoAge have succeeded in making a quite active/attractive forum/community which kinda killed everything else.

So if you want some NES action, you may want to head on over there, but I hope you'll stop by here every now and then... who knows, maybe NW can return to its former glory sometime in the future? :-)
