There have been no new posts for about 50 minutes – has the board died again? ---

I guess when you said you saw no new posts, you meant you had seen no posts from the last [week](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=528418), not your last visit? ---

I might add that I post very few OPs. This is my second so far this year, and I only posted one last year. But, if **IAmNotSpartacus** thinks this is on the same subject as another thread, he/she can always report it to the mods.
