Where are the ppl?

Yeah it's cus you're on forums. Go to blogs there's a new post every minute

Forums aren't optimized to promote engagement. You need to use workarounds with RSS to notify yourself of any updates which is why almost nobody is using them. Same with most groups. People are super active, but it's mainly on blogs and bulletins like Kiko said. They post comments on profiles and are fiddling about with their layouts. I see new members on the front page almost each time I revisit it too.

Yeah, I don't log in much anymore. My fault. Still not gone completely though.
