It feels like forums and bulletin board type sites have gotten less popular since the rising of Discord as a platform. Thus, ACF is less booming with random chatter and fun stuff these days, and it has become known as a middle-man for CB/SC support to get issues resolved faster. While the reps we have here from those sites are helpful (some more than others), the whole unofficial support section has grown into quite a thorn in my side, honestly. But clearly people depend on it, so it still exists. For now.
We do have active threads in the models only section, and once in a while something in the public section is worthy of some time and attention as there are a handful of helpful/active forum users without access to the MO.
I'll look for your verification post next week!
