Went over there to see if the Gabcast replay was up (didn't see it) and BG has gone downhill even more than the last time I was there. I would expect a boost in the participating member numbers after the Gabcast but it either didn't materialize or it has since evaporated.
After the Gabcast summary you posted, I really don't need to hear it anyway
They're staging a furious reboot now, "The Alcoholic" is back and trying to revive about a dozen dead threads.
Plus they're working Anthony like a pogo stick.
Dunno how it'll go for them long term, well enough I hope to keep the place active, be a shame to lose that massive archive of things Art and otherwise.
