So THAT'S what an active forum looks like... the death spiral of this one is so slow, you hardly notice that subjects only gather 1/4 the number of responses they once did...

OS X and the the collapse of software choices has made troubleshooting Mac stuff relatively moot. Remember when you had to have Conflict Catcher?

I think we've gotten so old that many of us don't really work anymore. So it's not like we're going to be wrangling over Illustrator vs Freehand vs Quark Xpress vs PageMaker vs Indesign vs Ragtime and what the hell we're going to print it all out on. The same people that sweated over splines and gradients and vectors now just wonder when we'll spring for our spiffy new smart watch with the Micky Mouse that taps his foot.
This group has been much more than a hardware/software troubleshooting forum for me for a long time...
Of course, for me too. We've been around a long time though. We're not the young'uns.

I think someone should resurrect the old question of what other good Not-necessarily Mac forums they like.

I have other online communities, but I've given up on any other old-school forums. This one is far richer than any others I've been exposed to.

macnn still has some vitality, but it's like 20 different boards.

This forum does seem to be declining, but it has persisted as a good community. For that I credit the decision by our hosts not to split it up into a maze of subforums. They kept it simple and it's worked.

Have I mentioned that I love this forum?

I remember Conflict Catcher well, I worked for Casady & Greene in those days...

Thank you Acer and Sekker for your suggestions. Thanks to the others here for your input.

Facebook groups are killing every other medium.... there's no 'dominant' Facebook group for mac users?
