   Sadly I remember a time when you would post questions on here and get tons of replies, both good and bad. 
   
   Now it seems like a lot of post never gets replies even though you will get 50-100+ views.
   
   I'm just trying to tell everyone to please take the time and respond, good or bad, even the slightest thoughts can generate conversations that may lead to answers or helpful information that might lead to even more thoughts being given. 
   
   These forums are only as good and useful as we as members allow them to become by being an integral participating part of.
   
   And GCSAA maybe we have expanded into way too many forum sections.

   I think for good or bad, people have migrated away from the forums.  I know many use the Facebook Golf Maintenance Page Gary Grigg put together.  It works pretty much like the old forums did.  It is easy to access via our phones, where the forums aren't?  I was just on the phone app and didn't see an easy or any way to the forums.  
   
   It does seem the equipment managers still use this a lot more than us, but even their post are less and less.

   I know your right but 32 people have viewed this post so far and only one person had any input. Thats kind of my point. we get lots of views but no one seems to want to add anything to the discussion. 
   
   We can remember the days, especially in the winter time, where these forums we super active.

   I used to be active on this forum until the format change. The current format is incredibly clunky and the forum link is hidden from plain view, which is a discouragement from participation. As such, I very seldom visit the GCSAA site. It's just plain bad.
