I don't think so, Gerard, just people prefer FaceBook today to Forum, although some are still very active in France.
Change of habits, or tool to communicate. I hate FB, and do prefer Forum, but the world does not leave choice and we start becoming 'has been's' perhaps.
Today, people have to live and burn every minute .. this is imported from the USa, liake Ma Donalds, hamburers, coca cola, high consumerism, fast food, not quality food, short term life and jobs, no longer long terms.
Europe does not invent, creat, just absorb and copy without much thinking. Also we are divided, therefore weak, dispersed.
But USA import flats from Europe, their creativity there is very low. They also lack History, Art, Music (past), ... also !!!!
Asia plan long term, has patience, precision, copy all but better ...
I prefer Forums, but I become a 'has been', how shall the next two generations behave in flat painting ?
More computer creation, abandon creativity to IA? , quit figurine painting? you shall see, my feet approach the end of the trail slowly...
But let's be alive, strong and let's keep going .... it is a human cement between people, cultures, nations, ages, believes ...
It is also the vacation time, ... ending soon, with new shows, club re-opening their activities, and hopefilly all of us coming back to the BFFS also !!!
