It just goes through it's ups and downs. It's not like one of those big MB communities with an abundance of members, where there's rarely a lull. Ours is a small one, but close-knit in spite of that. I remember times when the board had much less activity on it than this. I first came here after meeting Odd on another board way back when, and to be honest, I never expected the place to be around years later. Let's face it, most internet friendships don't last anywhere near that long, and online communities come and go all the time. Sure, we had to move after ITW died (which has turned out to be a good thing, IMHO), and there are a few people who I remeber from my early days here who aren't alive, but despite everything, Oddfellow's Board endures.
And I think it's a real testament to this place that it does.
