Still useful when doing a bit of "research", though (as I was with "metadyne").
An "aggregator"? OK ... but why should they be killing off the smaller (specialist?) sites?
For what it's worth, I reckon that forums (like this one) may not be used so much these days for reasons such as:-
1) A lot of the original (older?) users have now "moved in"
2) There are a lot more sites to visit (and spend time on) these days
And anyway ... does it matter? Some folk "keep the faith", and some (probably many more) don't.
