Lobo Report post Posted August 14, 2018 Ten years ago this was one of the most active forums on-line, lots of new posts every day. Now it seems like very little is going on here. I know that I have retired. Has everyone else retired also? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheilajeanne Report post Posted August 14, 2018 Lobo, you mean you've retired from leather work? Because, for most of us, retiring means we have MORE time to devote to leatherwork! I see new people coming on here all the time. It's still a great place to learn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiefjason Report post Posted August 14, 2018 Still busy. Just don't post as much stuff here as I used too. I'll jump pack on occasionally. And my real job has picked up so not as much time for this kind of stuff other than just browsing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheilajeanne Report post Posted August 14, 2018 Like I was saying: http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/81968-how-to-draw-floral-designs/?tab=comments#comment-550243 Where else could you get this sort of help, and so quickly, too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post Posted August 14, 2018 I can't speak to 10 years ago, but the advent of Facebook groups has had an impact on all of the forums I belonged to. Leatherworker.net has survived and fared far better than any of the other forums I belong to, especially the automotive ones. Those places are ghost towns anymore. We are in control of how things happen here and I will keep working to keep the forum alive and well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sceaden Report post Posted August 14, 2018 I just spent the last year in the hell of paramedic school but now that I'm done you should be seeing me around a lot more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodneywt1180b Report post Posted August 14, 2018 I wasn't interested 10 years ago but right now I would say this is a large active and healthy forum. I belong to a couple that are pretty small, sometimes with days between new posts. I do what I can with the ones I'm on to contribute to the discussion. I really don't want to see the forum format get killed off by the likes of Facebook. Forums have a huge advantage in building up large, easily accessible archives of good information. I don't like the "right now" type of format that Facebook uses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This forum, however, rocks! Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted August 24, 2018 I started one a month ago and am still super resistant to it. I just can't seem to embrace it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
