You can chat on facebook but you cannot make a tutorial a review or anything that needs something more than plain text. Of course it's easier to post a new set of darts, discuss a specific topic BUT
you cannot easily search in previous posts (for example one month old).
Forums are more like libraries, you can acces the info you want any time.
So my answer is no their not in their last legs, maybe they lost a set. :)
Yes that's how i see it.... no need for the hostilities....people lose their rag some time....move on.
I get the vibe from there that some seem to want this forum to fail. A bit sad really.
Maybe a couple but in general that is not the case. most people hadn't even heard of this forum before it got a mention on there. Chill out and cease the hostilities.........
Thank you so much for promoting the forum to a wider audience.

:DDD:
No problem.......its common sense to help when we can.

I'd say it's folks who used to love the place unhappy with how it's become.

To be honest I dont read facebook or forum posts which are about hostilities, I just skip them, so I dontt have a clear picture about it.
But from what I saw there are no hostile posts about this or any forum. Anylogical person should understand that every facebook group and evry forum has its own purpose. Thats all.

OK here is a bit of the exception. Just 6 days.
Is it a seasonal thing or just continuing the general decline?
Update now the darts are on telly.

TDF, First page of darts discussions goes back 2 months (now 2.5 months)
df, First page of darts discussions goes back one month.(still one month)
