When the first reunions were in full planning and post-event phases, there was a lot of activity, with the reunions as a starting point. Then, as I recall, things became pretty nasty, very personal, and many people either didn't want to get attacked or didn't want to witness same, and left. With the rise of FB coincident with the last reunion, some went there.

Perhaps if we begin a few discussions that a bunch of FC people will find interesting, the forum will grow again. (I'll suggest that political stuff leads to a lot of noise that chases away dialog and friendly conversation, especially to start out with. Then again, perhaps you disagree!) One thing we have in common is that we're all getting older. Maybe we can use the forum to talk about dealing with the world from our new vantage points! Or dealing with our even older relatives and friends. Read anything interesting lately? Surprised by something unexpected? Feel the need to plan a reunion? Start a college? What do you think?
