Having returned to this form after about a 5 year absence (from the forums and woodworking itself) this past month, I'm a little sad to see the activity level so low. Back in the 'heyday' this place was buzzing and a truly inspiring place to pick up woodworking tips, deals, etc. Looking back at the last week, there's an average of only 4 threads with any activity on them per day.
So I'm wondering what if anything we can do to rev up woodworking talk here? Maybe a build challenge? A "project of the week"? A conscious effort of every remaining active member to post what they're working on?
I do appreciate the few active members that seem to go out of their way to post new topics and keep discussion rolling.
As a new woodworker in about 2004, this was the primary place where I asked questions, picked up some invaluable tips, and gathered feedback to outfit my tool collection. I reluctantly registered at another WW forum yesterday, but it just doesn't feel the same. In the past I've only browsed there, never registered or posted, as I got pretty much what I needed here at BT3.
