>> Hi Beverly,

>> My guess is it's just back to school blues, or no one has needed help with
malfunctioning lab equipment for a while. Last time I checked, there were
around 1700 subscribers to the ABRF Discussion Forum, and this number has
remained ~consistent over the past 7ish years since ABRF changed the forum
provider and infrastructure.  However, posts to the list have never been as
high as back in the early days of genetic and proteomic technology development.

>> I've noticed for some time now that there are other places people are
communicating with each other such as Twitter because of its more
conversational nature and ability to easily add images and links and other
twitterisms.  Also, there are other forums which are specific to a given topic
such as the MaxQuant and Perseus Google Groups for those two software packages,
and SPCTools Google Group for the TPP and there are others.  This type of
specialization competes with the more general nature of ABRF Discussion forum
for subscribers and new postings to the list.
