You can see the concentration of participation to a certain extent, by clicking the members link at the top of the page and then sorting by number of posts. This does not account for people that once participated heavily but have moved on (badbob for instance, and Dupo to a lesser extent.) I think the numbers bear out the gist of what has been said above in this thread.

I miss some of the voices we once had (such as the aforementioned badbob, mr. softie and others) but, my unscientific opinion is we are effectively more diverse now, with more people participating, than we have ever been. I think the content tends to diminish a bit in the winter, for obvious reasons.

(Speaking for myself, though, I was out on the Strat on the four lane last night sailing along at 75 and very comfy in my MESH jacket. I think it was about 80 degrees at 11pm.)
