Maybe you're looking at some of the more 'deep' sections off of the main boards? Like the Special > TX Tripper
I'd say the board in general is well populated, you just have to ask a question and you get a response. I think most people view the board in
'Latest messages' order, that way even if you post something in a part that no-one ever goes to, everyone will still see your message.
Personally I use the board for messages that require an answer I can refer to again, but if I just want to chat I try and use MSN. Its supprising
how many of us have MSN messenger accounts and are happy to be contacted that way (mine is hutch@ sports six dot info [no spaces or 'dot'])
Cheers,
