I fear that after many years of informative chat that CBF will fold if members are not using it.
Good morning, charlste.
What do you fear isn't being used? If the forum, I've found that the CBF does have a fair bit of seasonality in terms of usage, but I suspect that the fine people of this forum will post and reply when they can. Personally, I log on daily but don't normally post unless there's something in particular that resonates...I'd much rather have good feedback and advice we find on CBF than some of the other fora that are repositories of off-colour, sexist or racist jokes and the general trolling between disagreeable parties.
For me, as an owner of two properties in Fethiye, I find CBF to be balanced, well-reasoned and supportive and the users have been helpful when posting a query. I do agree; however, that sometimes the "unread posts since last visit" result can be a bit slim at times.
Hope you're well and safe...Happy New Year, or shall I say, "Happy New Tier!".
