-This forum doesn't have that much traffic or life, just like all the forums these days. When there is lot of interaction in threads going on, the traffic is almost always directed from outside (social media).
-It's pre-Christmas. All of us are mostly hauling ass trying to finish all the work in suicide mode. Not enough attention for something else.

Pleasant images, don't feel discouraged ;- )
