It is truly a little sad, that most of the older members have moved on to other formats.

Hoping that we can catch up closer to the holidays.

All my best wishes,

I have noticed that other forums have become fairly inactive too.  Lots of tags showing that people are reading the cached information but few people posting.   

https://www.reenactor.net/index.php?action=forum  is another quiet forum.

I have had too little time (and energy) to cook much but my lovely wife found me a couple bottles of verjuice to try.  There is a 14th century French cook book, Viender, where most recipes are basically: "cook to taste then ad verjuice before serving." (Venison, chicken, mutton, fish, etc....)

I was absent due to forgetting my password....   Ermm

Yes, I am aware of this drop off in participation on numerous food forums that I used to frequent.

The wide majority have an enormous lack of participation.

It is quite sad.

I shall view the forum that you mention above.

I had this conversation with Ron and also with Historic Foodie too.

Just, has gone down hill - people post on Facebook and do not come to forums .. 

I enjoy history and like reading about times gone by ..  It was one of my best subjects at secondary school (high school).  

I particularly like gastronomic history ..  

Well, Historic Foodie really went out of his way to try and obtain the previous readers and participators. 

THE numbers of newcomers reading is quite large but they never participate in the conversations and they never comment !  

I always feel saddened by what has happened.

Nice chatting with you and have a lovely autumn and winter festive season.

We shall try and keep in contact.

https://www.reenactor.net/index.php?action=forum   Disappeared and the last moderator disappeared with it so there is no one to even ask what happened.

A half dozen other forums disappeared like this which is a shame since there was so much saved information on them.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but there's a thing called the Internet Archive and part of that is "The Wayback Machine" that basically makes backups of website that you can go back and look at.


Now, you won't be able to get into things that required you to be logged in to view, but any of the public information should be there.
