I made a quick count and it appears there are 242 forums. Of these , over 150 have 1 or fewer posts. Are there too many groups to have a trhiving discussion board as FT was before the sight renovation? Might there be more participation if inactive groups were deleted after a few months of absolutely zero participation? I've been a member since 2003. I closed my original account after becoming friends with FT members on FB and decided I wanted more anonyminity.

The sight still serves me well in searching for exercises that target what I want to target and for logging my daily workouts. As far as I can see, very few people bother to answer questions in the beginner section. I still do but most of the time there is not a response to my reply. I think part of the problem is that people can't find the forum in which they asked the question. Any thoughts?
