I noticed that too; I know I've only been a member for a little while, but I was kind of disappointed by how little activity there is on the site. I had hoped to make some connections with people in my area, but it's pretty quiet 'round here. You'd think everybody had been killed off.
Who? Who could have done this?

I used to be in the chat regularly, but due to real life and how much time the horses take up, I just don't have time. It was a great resource for me when I was starting out, so I get where you're coming from.

I used to get on all the time as well. It was usually just Diz and I most of the time. I still check the boards every day, but don't get on the chat anymore cause noone is ever there. I've been hesitant to post things in my build as well because I haven't been getting much feedback/ pointers and that's fine. Life happens, and times are tough for everyone. I have noticed the same thing over on the SLD boards as well. Not much going on in the realm of builds and getting feedback.
I just want to get my Vader done so I can be the scariest, hugest Lord of the Sith out there. A big thanks to those who have been a great help in my build! Hopefully I can troop soon.

See, that's exactly what I would love to see - I want to know what people are building, what progress they are making, all that stuff. I had hoped that with the movies coming out again, people would be re-flamed about costuming and all that, but so far, nothing.
I for one would love to see what you're making. Watching armor builds is one of my favorite parts of this hobby! Especially once there's an event for me to troop at, I would be way excited to know something about the other people there. The Rebel Legion for this area is relatively active it seems, but there are so few of them, while it looks as though the 501st is strong, but don't appear much here any more. I hope something happens to change that; I would love to finally talk to people in my region about costuming. I spent 4 years on my Jedi costume, and yet there's nobody with whom I can talk about it!

Sadly, not so much since Facebook has become so popular. That may also be part of the reason the boards seem quieter than usual, too.
Looks like it's time for some new website features. I better get busy.
Don't stress over it too much Mike It's not the lack of features. Darth Real Life has gotten in the way for many of us. I used to use it all the time but other responsibilities have kept me away. I'll try to pop in there from time to time.
