It's interesting how this problem still exists here. A shame too.
I remember the 'old' DCM site. It was always busy with numerous people getting stuck in and contributing.
Now the site in general is very quiet. The comps thread is reasonably busy but not so the rest of the site.
I guess different people want different things from the site; some like the comps, some like to seek/give advice, some like to post photos for critique.
I really like the site and try, where I can, to get involved in different areas. I want the site to work, hopefully it will. I just wish people would get more involved.
