Dead forum is dead

Does anyone actually use this forum anymore? It looks like everyone has been ran off and it's now just a recruitment board. No talk of the upcoming winter season, no talk of the new circuit in NorCal, no predictions or show announcements. Nothing... I heard alot of people have gone here because you can say what you want and not get chastised for it but IDK. I was hoping to see some more localized discussion.

Well I think that everyone hasn't been using this site for indoor talk because there are sites depending on the circut you are doing that have there own forum's. However I want to wish all the groups doing indoor a great season. I work with Los Altos High School and Chino High School and they will both have a good season. I hope both schools will medal as Los Altos is doing ADLA and Chino is SCPA and the defending bronze medalist from last year. 8-)

I can assure you that there are still over 1,000 people a day that visit this forum to read the postings now that the fall marching season is over. But I do wish more would post! It will pick up some again when the winter competitions start in ernest. Most students are discouraged from posting to forums by their instructional staffs, so you will be hard pressed to find them on any public forums. Also, Facebook has become the place of choice for most personal discussions. Most internet forums have lost much of their traffic to Facebook and Twitter. SC-PA has their own forum so much of the discussion here the last few years has been from ADLA and NorCal. If you want it to be defferent, please invite your students to come post here. One simple rule can keep them under control.... say nothing that could bring disgrace to yourself or your organization, or that you would NOT like to see written about you or your friends!
