Hmmm well this can be very vexing I can understand that but the best we can do is just stay positive and look for whatever opportunities come our way, have you tried working online ?
Yeah. Lurkers can only lurk for so long though. Unless I'm doing it wrong. I was always a low poster anyways. I just became extra low when activity began to drop.
Also over time I have developed forum block or something. Which is a shame.
