I see your point, Esty. I was just quite...well...disappointed by the absence of threads as active as the Canon thread used to be. It was just a new thing for me not to see even a single thread with a brightly glowing "fireball" next to it, if you know what I mean.
By the way, I did notice that there are less and less posts in the CbC threads as the subforum advances. And these are supposed to be the more interesting chapters (at least for me)!
