John Robinson Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 There have been no new posts for nearly a week now, unless there's something wrong with my computer (which wouldn't surprise me). Has something untoward happened? I'm becoming worried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Pykett Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 That's wonderful, firstrees! But there is declining activity across all the forums I'm interested in, and these cover not only organs but other subjects as well. They seem to go quiet for long periods, briefly to recover with spikes of activity, and then go quiet again. Is it because people prefer Facebook, Twitter, etc these days? I was reading the recent Organists' Review this week and thought at the time maybe there's material there to stimulate activity on this forum. For example, what about John Norman's remarks about two cathedral organs yet to be built? Or the articles about house organs? Or even the apparently declining sales of that magazine, judging by the remarks of one contributor? But then, if one wanted to do this, the more natural home might be the OR Facebook pages. If so, then it's QED. CEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Newnham Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Even some of the organ groupes on Facebook have been quieter than usual - there have been a few posts on "Organ Matters", but otherwise, everywhere is pretty quiet - just one of those things. Maybe everyone is busy frantically trying to get Christmas repertoire sorted & practiced! Every Blessing Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innate Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Well, it’s nice to know there isn’t a massive technical problem with the board! And, thanks to the prompting from Colin I have subscribed to Organists’ Review via iTunes as I’d hate to miss anything interesting about house organs :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choir Man Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 With advent and Christmas just around the corner, perhaps everyone is too busy preparing and practising to be posting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Robinson Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 With advent and Christmas just around the corner, perhaps everyone is too busy preparing and practising to be posting? And then Epiphany, then Lent and Easter. I expect we'll have to wait for Trinity for a mass of posts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
