Closing down? Maybe…
By Wolfie | May 21, 2008
No longer the Mecca that it once was, the New Wolfs Howl Forum is becoming painfully neglected; moss is growing in the cracks between the paving stones, the paintwork on the windows is cracked and peeling, the shingles on the roof are loose and several are missing. The once busy house is empty and quiet, a patina of dust lies on everything and if you listen closely you can hear something scurrying in the crawlspace. Rats? Maybe. Ghosts?
But the place had a heyday, when it was the place to be. The social venue of choice for the great and the good, where intelligent conversations took place between intelligent people and everyone got along. The heady days before familiarity set in, before the next big thing came around the corner, before everyone became too busy to stop by anymore.
So now the New Wolfs Howl Forum is dying. Like a leaf at the end of summer it’s drying up and turning brown; losing it’s vitality and returning to the earth from which it sprung. But it is not too late. This particular leaf can be saved if we all believe in it enough, if we wish and wish and wish…
… and if we visit a bit more often and actually start some conversations. Left in its current sorry state and given no life-saving sustenance, I fear the New Wolfs Howl Forum will be gone forever very soon.

I’ve been so busy at Blog Catalog and in my personal and business life that I haven’t been posting to your forum. My time is stretched to the limit right now and it’s not likely that I’ll be seeing any change until after the tourist season comes to an end. All forums require a critical mass of members and I’m sorry that didn’t happen for this one.
Best regards,

I sorry too. I haven’t been around anything lately - not even my own blog but that’s slowly changing now. I think it’s a shame to give up. The Forums might have woken up again? Who knows?
