    I just had a quick look through the 'Forum Team' Users list and I noticed that most have not posted for a while.

    Lefteye - last post 4 months ago
    43review - last post 2 months ago
    nightowl - last post 2 months ago
    bobn2 - last post 19 days ago
    ArvoJ - last post 16 days ago.

    Have they abandoned the good ship DPRevived, gone AWOL, gone on leave or are they flat out working quietly on upgrading these forums?

    I agree with Danno - that‘s a strange amount of inactivity for the team behind a forum, unfortunately and I‘ve wondered about the same thing recently as well…

    I‘m thankful for your responsiveness @AlanSh, but not sure if there‘s really anything significant happening behind the scenes. Could you give us a quick update on how it looks from your perspective?

    It's so easy to go back to dpreview out of old habit, so there is probably where most of them are. And by the way, I find the structure of threads there are easier to navigate than dprevived, but that's probably again just old habits.

    I'm still here ..

    Bob is away,
    Martin (43review) doesn't post too often anyway but is busy on another project
    ArvoJ is on holiday till the end of the month
    Either Lefteye or Nightowl has decided not to be a system admin of any type but is staying around. Not sure about the other one,

    August is a bad month for everyone as holidays get in the way

    Oh, if you wanted DRAMA...

    Bob is just finishing his first climb of Mount Everest,
    Martin has gone into hiding after removing the Mona Lisa "for safe keeping"
    Arvo has decided he would like to run for President of USA and is over there applying for citizenship
    And Lefteye and NightOwl have decided to open a new service called "Twitter" as the name has recently become vacant. So, if anyone has a few million to spare, please contact them

    😂😂😁😁😁😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

    That's brilliant! 😂

    I've actually heard rumors that the service formerly called "Twitter" will henceforth be called "Dumpster" and that the team was involved in some legal matters because of that... 😉

    Oh, and I am away for the weekend. Travelling tomorrow and Monday, so my presence here will be limited to evenings assuming we have a decent signal.

    It's possible. I could be a CIA mole and am having to move house quickly because my cover has been blown. 😃

    We can't really be sure. I feel very uncomfortable in this situation. 🥶

    There is already plenty of drama in some of the forums 😉

    Anyway, it looks like until the Admin team on their "sabbaticals" return then Alan is effectively a one man band running these forums.
