I've been a lurker here for a long time but am now trying to participate more. I really love the info and generous people here and would be very sad to see the forums go. Any ideas for making things more fun and active would be great. I look forward to what is being planned for the future.

By the way, I really do not like the archive feature in the forum. This makes the forums look even more inactive to newcomers. Those old threads contain some good info and it is a shame to hide them away and people new to the site may not know about the archives.
