Unless some of those people get tired of having to deal with the masses
of people, and either come back to or discover the hobby, and the
(usually) pleasant people that populate it.  :)   It of course depends
on what each person is looking for... if it's to be part of a mass, then
the web forums are fine... and I'm sure there's some good info to be
found there, too... but if it's to be part of a community, there really
isn't anything quite like the bbs'ing community (even at its worst![g]).
