Yeah, the NMN board used to be a hive of regular activity, but over the years it's dwindled and then with the announcement of Rob's retirement it became a ghost town. Strangely, just as it was petering out, the admin on the forum asked around to see if people wanted to move the site to Facebook, and the answer was a resounding "NO". Then some fan who didn't even take part on the original forum happened to start a NMN fan page on Facebook after seeing there wasn't one, and it's now more popular than ever. Weird. At a guess I'd say it's likely the Facebook sites capture the "youth" audience a bit more readily than the forums do, hence the increased activity seen.
