It's always hard when things change. It's the one constant, though, that things will evolve.
With fitness, though, it's a tough industry. It seems that taking care of ourselves often is last on the priority list. We all know about lives changing and suddenly you're dealing with children growing older, getting married, caring for elderly parents, you go back to work, health issues, etc. etc. Anything has the potential to derail us. The more you're away, the more you don't do it. And, yes, streaming has changed things but still I think that people could discuss favorite platforms or YouTube channels. Also, for those of us that have been around awhile...maybe we don't have as much to say anymore. We've found what works for us and don't have a lot to contribute to the conversation. Like everything, it's complicated.

I know a few people left and didn't come back after focusing on a career change, writing a dissertation and/or having a baby. Maybe they just fell out of the habit
I also noticed a few exoduses back in the day when some hoopla or other was always exploding and threads were being locked. When I see the birthday of a former VF'er I always wonder what they're up to. |

I've been wondering if the younger people (my generation included) are simply on other social media platforms and have sort of forgotten about forums like this. I followed a few when I was younger and I'm pretty sure this is the only one that has a decent amount of activity, or is still in existence at all. I've wondered if Facebook groups and whatnot are where people look for this kind of community. I'm guilty of doing that. I've considered getting rid of Facebook, but I have some groups I really like, plus I admin one as well. I haven't wanted to give that up, even though I'm generally pretty disgusted with Facebook.

I’m similar to you regarding Facebook. I have a few groups I like to participate in.
I think older people have gone to Facebook and the younger to Tik Tok and Snapchat. But I like the forum posting, Facebook is harder for me to keep track of.
