Well I've popped in having remembered I have an account here and everything seems to be very quiet indeed. The interface here, as I spotted mentioned elsewhere (but forget which diary it was now, and I'm not going to track it down!), is less than intuitive and may be discouraging activity. Wouldn't it make sense to switch to a Planet based system to incorporate peoples own diaries/blogs? For those without the facility simply providing a shared blog here that also feeds the Planet would do the trick. Just a thought in passing...
