There's a number of fun people who don't post now. I wonder why??? :-|

Prickly Holly last posted on the games board Nov last year.
She didn't reply to my email from at least 18 months ago and didn't open a couple of pm's at about the same time. You can only put out the hand of friendship so often.

think a lot of people shifted to sites like Face Book for their "natters" - more of a fun thing really plus of course Messenger etc and they are free to use

Ron, FB has a lot of advantages over GR chat, I've no idea if GR members have decamped there though as my FB list is only people I know. I think both are fairly quiet this year due to many being depressed by the virus.

However FB is also losing people these days, and more and more are starting private groups so they can keep things out of the public domain as much as possible.

Anything you post on FB, text, photos or whatever, becomes FB's property
