Err no but you don't really need numbers do you? The number of active |
| 17 |
developers is not even close to those who were active back in 2005 and |
| 18 |
especially the number of users if not really the same. The forums are |
| 19 |
not as active as they used to be ( as I see it ). Moreover, having so |
| 20 |
many herds with one or two active developers is not a sign of activity |
| 21 |
or progress either. |
