The forum may be quiet for any number of different reasons. Speaking for myself, I like to post when it engages people's minds and we can debate or discuss our views. A lot of the people who used to post frequently are busy or have moved on. Coming to the show...the interest IMHO is directly proportional to how crisp the writing is. These days and for a while now its been dragging. When the writers start going back to what made them special, the audience will be back!
