Sorry to bring up such a grim question about a board that, undoubtedly, is very meaningful to many people.
I have noticed since Lou has left the board several months ago that this board has steadily decreased in activity. Some of the members who posted and answered questions regularly are beginning to frequent the board much less often and some not at all.
I was just wondering what you all think of this?
Is there anything we can do, pro-actively, to spread the word about this board to bring new members and minds to this site? Any suggestions would be great, because, since I have been here I have earned a lot and grown in some of my beliefs and confidence on certain subjects.
I would love to see this board continue to grow and not dwindle away until just a couple of people roam the board and answer the infrequent questions of random new comers.
Thanks for your responses here.

I hope not!
I have a feeling Sleeper, after a nice long break, will be allowed to continue his work.
I also have a feeling this next year is going to be very interesting.

I think also this time of year people are out on vacation and other things occupying there time, lou did say he might stop in from time to time and talk if that happened you would probably see 4 pages of posts in an hour.

Respectfully, I would suggest you forget about the board dying and review the fantastic information that Lou gave us.
I know you want to hear more and ask more questions but actually Lou gave us as much as we need to know and a lot more.

Sleeper, thanks for all the information that you have given me. Words cannot describe how much my perceptions have changed.
Ill see you on the other side man.

I don't think the board will die. It's not as busy as it was, yes. But we are just waititng and hoping for Lou to return.
For myself, I have been very busy with caring for sick family and a bit of ill health myself. I check in without signing in, but mostly don't feel I have alot to contribute at this time. I think many are probably like me; lurking in the shadows for now.
This is all too important to most of us to let it die, and just think of it as a lull. Stella.
PS thanks to all those who are working on keeping it going with your contributions.

A little birdie told me to stay tuned for a special treat within the next few weeks. I can not say more than that so no PM's please.

That's awesome... I think. I hope you are correctly informed and talking about what it seems like you are.

well thats good news !, I wonder if Lou will just say hello or if he has been working on new material on his hiatus or if this enforcer will prevent him from anymore books or blogs.

Formal Announcement! I can all ready see Sleeper is testing out the waters with his "Hi" Thread. Well now I'm interested to see what your talking about. I guess I'll have to wait.

Hi est and all you wonderful people.although i haven't posted much i always look forward to reading what the board members have to say so i for one will be sticking around for as long as the forum is here,and like john says Lou left us with a bundle to keep us occupied into the next century.If you read it all again it's always just as amazing as the first time.

I come and go here reading through the posts. I have posted a few things but not a response back. Would be nice to promote this board somehow but its ok. I will await Sleeper's return.
