Do you have the answer?

Is it me or are the CPF forums really quiet?

How do you mean? Low activity or few logged on? Something other than that entirely? But yes, I agree. It has felt a bit subdued around here for a while.

No new Fenix,
No new Surefire,
Besselbennie has covered all the lights from them discount websites,
but most of all No CPF New Posts.

I used to browse General, LED, Cafe.
Then I discovered New Posts and browsed all CPF.
Now I'm back to browsing General, LED, Cafe.

+1 (point for point) to LEDninja...

Feels that way to me, FWIW.

Nobody has money to buy flashlights or parts which means we have nothing to write about, and we just window shop being envious of others who can afford to buy all of the goodies.

I think a lot of people are missing the "New Posts" button :sigh:.

Its spring, at least in the U.S., the weather is getting nice, and every single forum I visit is way down in activity. It does not seem to be just a CPF thing.

Oh yeah. That was my primary tool to see what's up. I don't know whether things are really quieter or not -- I just know that I've got to figure out a new way to even find out.

I hadn't noticed.

But now that you mention it.... :sigh:

Since the time changed, I've been using my lights a lot less. So with less use comes less 'need' for anything new

Also the manufacturers are in a lull, not much goodies to drool over. I think ppl are waiting for the UA2 and others.

And I don't know about where everyone is located, but the weather has been really nice for the most part here. Get out and play!

I wonder how many people are just out enjoying the nice weather. I know I am!

There's still between 2100 and 2400 registered members logging in every day.

That would be my conclusion as well. I used to be on CPF 3-4 times a day and would go through all the newly posted to threads using the "New Posts" button, now I'm only on one or twice a day and then only in 4-5 different forums.

Any chance the new posts and search functions will be back?

Yes... they will both be back soon...

I can't speak for anyone else but I'm involuntarily retired. Recreational spending has come to a screeching halt. Very often when I cruise CPF, it's harmful to my bank account. I don't view CPF much anymore for the same reason I don't look at pretty gals.......

I agree, nights are getting shorter in the northern hemisphere, at least in Germany (and whole middle Europe) we have nice sunny weather, it's more a time for riding on the MTB, barbeque, or a cold beer :



Prost,

I think people are just in shock from the idea you can put a P7 in your old 3 cell Maglite and you don't even need a driver.
