Over 2 weeks since anybody posted anything here - a bit sad, it used to be quite active and you could get a vigorous discussion.
Whirly Girl was one of the key players - awfully quiet.
All that has been up recently has been spam posters and a twerp who wanted to bag every flying school and its instructors.
Come on, Torquers, don't let it die a quiet death. |

Very true.
I keep checking in to see if something interesting has happened, but most of the time the answer is no  |

I drop in every day usually but not been flying recently for several reasons.
I think WG has her hands full with the little PIC in training...

Any thoughts on the reasons why it is so quiet on here? |

It's fairly simple
1) Pprune (Rotorheads) is the main helicopter forum, always has been, always will be
2) Facebook now has several dedicated helicopter 'forums'...
There ya go |

Do you know any good Facebook forums? I'm also on pprune, some strange comments in there sometimes, people have innocent questions, relatively speaking, and some of the responses.....ouccchhh! _________________ PPL |

It is a great shame this site has become virtually redundant, it was the perfect place to ask for honest advice without getting ridiculed like on other sites. |

I am still dropping in. Was always great to see questions posted by students and pilots. Some good discussions and, as mentioned no ridiculing!

you know when you're with a group of like minded individuals and it goes quiet and you want to say something but you've not got anything interesting to say so you just look around...

It is a pity, it was pretty busy in here a couple of years ago.
We should all check back a little more often, might get a bit busier if we all started chatting again.
Some of the Facebook forums are bloody awful and have the word helicopter in so people go there.
I for one have got busy in the last few years, and rarely post anywhere, but do when it seems relevant.
Fly Safe.

Gary,
Hope you are well.
I understand people enjoy learning to fly and have a passion for it, but on facebook there is only so many pictures of an R22 I can look at.
There is rarely anything of interest, just pictures.
Be safe,
