I think it must be you, since I can see quite a few recent posts.
Quality is more important than quantity, and there’s a whole lot of quality here… Most people choose to post when they feel they have something interesting/insightful to say (I’m one of the few exceptions).
People tend to put some effort into their posts — they tend not to treat this board as a chat board… If chat is what you’re looking for, then I suggest you try [url=http://www.sadgeezer.com/html/mac_jIRC-main.html] SadCHAT.[/url]
Also, it’s important to keep in mind that the board is just one small, but important part of the site. And you’ll see that discussion (or comments) also happens in the news articles and in the downloads section etc.
There’s plenty of new and old posts that should arouse the serious, and not so serious, sci-fi afficionado. It’s a cult sci-fi lurker’s paradise, and a Spam-lover’s hell. There’s always something fascinating to comment on if one has the desire.
