<I think there is a two fold reason for the drop off in posts. Neither of them have to do with competing boards. Stock message boards were new just a few years ago. Toys are always played with more when you first get them. And the market is not as interesting to talk about. It is stagnating. There is not the feeling that if I just keep looking, reading and learning I'll find a nugget. It's like the waning of the gold rush.> Assuming you are referring to SI's post growth, I beg to differ. RB's post growth vs. SI's would suggest that free is still better in most posters' eyes. Russ and all have bucked prevailing wisdom by insisting on profits to accompany growth. Whether that has worked in SI's case appears inconclusive. Disclaimer: I love SI. As a poster grandfathered-in before membership fees, would not want it any other way. (Such fees keep out the riff-raff.)
