When the Chit Chat forum is waaaay more active than the Formula 1 forum, something is wrong.

As Mark mentioned, the factors of reddit and no sites linking to here don't help. Along with the other usual suspects of members here being overwhelmed with work (as in the japanese word karoshi) and family matters.

My hunch is - for here anyways - that some folks finally got fed up with the state of the sport. From what I've seen here and on other sites, there's either little activity or an unusual (yet unstandable)level of anger expressed .... notably with F1 and IRL racing.
