Me myself lurk more than contribute. Joint the group only some months
and stay lurking. It isnt dead but times changed a bit.

Bjorri, looking back from the first time I started lurking (1993) and
posting (1998) on RBP, things have changed dramatically. The number of
active posters and amount of new posts (and active threads), the
atmosphere, the interaction between members (backchannel and real life)
and the width of subjects being discussed (with people enjoying
fla****er, seakayaking, rodeo, river runners, open canoeing, rafting
and what more) by people from all walks of life... RBP really was a
different place back then. If you didn't experience back then, I can see
where it still might seem to be active now, but frankly, it's less than
a shadow of its former self.
