Yes, pretty much so. It has trickled down to, maybe, one a week or less. That does not bode well. It is interesting that someone complained on CCC about how the search engine was not updated in a long time. When we did that, it was updated often. I fear the very same fate when someone with good intentions takes over CCC in February or March and the board falls into disrepair or there are issues that need immediate attention. Tim and I are here everyday, all\ day. Normal people have lives to lead. Sometimes these boards are a full time job. No one realizes that, or, maybe they figure the other guy can pay so he won't have to. Or maybe they think that ICD has big pockets, and since it supported the board for 7 years, we were racking in the money and could go on forever. The boards never brought us customers. Most people on the Internet will go anywhere for the best deal. Competitors are just a click away. And software profit is so small, it is almost a joke. It is nice being associated with the CCC, but we are also trying to run a business, and expenses like this cannot be absorbed. And the time consumed on my part is substantial and almost always takes me away from my real job which actually pays the bills. Frankly, it is a bit disheartening. Steve
