Due to the nature of my job I spend a lot of time on these forums and I have noticed a surge in posts and activity recently. Now some of this can be put down to 'novelty' but I also believe that the forums will grow in popularity and stay as active. The good thing about the 'novelty' issue is that people who didn't use the old forums are posting questions and they are being answered very quickly this will entice them to come back here with their next problem. And like rick said there are adverts for A1VBCode all over the web Just not many to the actual forums.
