Well, if a forum doesn't receive any message over weeks, it's dead really - because nobody bothers looking anymore.

It may have made sense to have -say- 3 more generic forums ... if the god-damn forum merge would work.
MyBB seems to be in decline but moving to (another) forum engine is time-prohibitive at the moment.

I suppose you get a lot of hits for the lens reviews and that's what's keeping this going?

I look on quite often, I just don't post much. I also tend to like the smaller "community" type forums like this. Though the community has dwindled to almost no one. Next question, how can the traffic be boosted? Maybe links in the reviews saying something like what do you think of this lens, or would you but it, or ?? 

It would be a bummer to see your site evaporate into the ether.
