    Hi @Germanprof, 

    I have noticed that there has been a significant drop in emusers posts in recent months, particularly during this current month of November. This is a shame from my point of view, as I have discovered some great music through our community plus I really enjoy the conversations.

    So I was wondering what can we do to return things to the way they were in the past or is this just the nature of things with emusers coming towards its natural end? 

    As one of the long-term members of our community, a Roles Administrator and somebody whose views I respect, I would be interested in your thoughts.

    Thanks, Peter.

      Just to let you know that I have made contact with some other emusers and they are keen to continue the group. They have been preoccupied with other things recently, so haven't had time to do post but will do so in the near future. So, good news!

      Sorry to be slow to see this - I am traveling for two weeks with a very intensive schedule and have barely had time to look at the internet. Yes, there has been drop off, and it’s been tailing off for a while. I suspect it’s very dependent on (a) who is around and (b) what’s going on in their life. Brighternow used to post multiple times daily and tirelessly posted new music until he died. A few other regular posters moved on to other conversations. I know that myself I used to post much more frequently than I do now - and the main reason for that is that I have entered a phase of my career with increased responsibilities and absorbing tasks and I find myself often with less bandwidth for actively exploring new music and writing about it. November is an extreme symptom - I have been in South Korea for a week and a half during which I have led training in 13 schools, sometimes 3 in one day, and I am now en route to a conference in Malaysia and will not get home (USA) until November 1. So barely time to turn around let alone post stuff. Good that some of the others are looking to reactivate - and well done for reaching out. I’ll be “around” again in December. And thank you for all your posts, I listen to many of the tips you post, precisely because many of them are outside my era and wheelhouse.
