[QUOTE="Sayburr, post: 1513197, member: 92"] I used to post a lot on these boards and on the boards that proceeded this one, but now that I have found I can not buy every d20 book that is published I concentrate on D&D and Kalamar, so I spend most of my time at Kenzerco.com instead of here. I still read the front page daily and glance at the forum topics on the right side of the main page (which led me here) but I don't post very much any longer. I guess my interest in all things d20 has waned to the point where I just don't have anything to contribute to the discussions on the boards any longer. I still donate to ENworld when there is a shout out for funds, but I don't use the boards. I look at the topics on the first page and there is NOTHING I feel like contributing to (well, other than this topic). So, I think the downturn that you perceive is not a lessening of interest in gaming or even a lessening in the interest in the service that Russ is providing though the news page, but more of a concentration into small areas of the gaming community that can be better served on a publishers own message board area. I remember when Necromacer Games didn't have their own message board and Clark and crew spent a lot of time here, now they have their own area and have to split their time between here and there. As for me, I love it, because when I want to see what is going on with Necromancer Games, I head over to their message boards whereas I used to have to come here and weed through a multitude of messages just to try and find the info I desired. So, I personally don't think there is anything ENworld can do to bring back the "old feel" of when every publisher and every fan spent hours upon hours here because while this is a great centralized base for news and knowledge, it is not great for specific information any longer. Fans are better served at a publisher's owned message area. Often I will find out about a product here and then go to the publisher's website and the publisher's message boards to find out more.
