Now I admit I have no empirical evidence for this, just a feeling from reading the posts but it does seem to me that of recent there's been a steady flow of members who, for what ever reason, drifted away from the forum but have now returned.
It got me thinking, (always dangerous), that is it a side effect of the pandemic? We all have more time on our hands, the time spent online has grown and grown as the pandemic has gone on. Winter is keeping us indoors more so is it possible that in the middle of this dreadful crisis our community has found both new and old friends? A refuge from the storm? A tiny sliver of silver on an otherwise dark cloud.
