I've stopped/slowed down as work has taken up more and more of my time. Also, I feel that I can contribute less to some of the discussions... that and there have been less that have piqued my interest.

I'd say a lot of the more recent threads are further into the theoretical/mathematical than I'm comfortable and/or experienced with.


On the global-internet side, I feel that there is a general move away from forums. It's hard to read a ~100 page long post to get to the current state of discussion, and yes facebook is easy and addicting to get updates on.

I would say that I'm now using the forums more as a reference book or "encyclopedia" if you will, and facebook for updates, short discussions and photos from teams.
