Has the LVA board lost a little interest

Been away for awhile but I noticed there is a big decrease in postings by members. Has the board lost a little of it's interest with members....Just looking and the time between postings on several topics it seems interest is down? Maybe it is just me....
Well, more things could be going on in peoples' lives and maybe some of these people have less time to deal with Las Vegas stuff, but then again, maybe even more than that, people may more now be having less disposable income to spend on things like trips to LV.

I heard a commercial last night which left me to believe that there is supposed to be a show tonight on ABC that's at least supposed to have a segment about Las Vegas. The show is called "ABC's The Lookout" (which is on at 10PM Eastern and Pacific Time).

Saw the promo too, seemed more about how to spend your money in Vegas before you ever get into a casino. 10pm tonight ABC.

Things have changed over the past couple years on LVA. Likely caused by many things: social media, older forum software/page layout, slow page load, the recession, etc.

Many frequent posters have left . Some are likely missed - others, not so much.

Doesn't seem to be many new faces around. Perhaps message boards in general are becoming obsolete in favor of more advanced social tools like Facebook, Twitter, etc. I dont transition quickly to new stuff....I still use a landline telephone for my primary calling device.

I believe it is directly a result of the continued abysmal performance of these boards and the lack of any fix by LVA. It's been going on for years with many broken promises and people have migrated to boards that work much smoother.
Quite a few good responses...
1. Less spendable income...
2. Older posters left for greener pastures...
3. new posters not rwally getting involved...
4. Problem areas needing attention but ignored in some cases..
5. Seems like everything has increased example rent-a-cars prices---gasoline prices---and overall increases everywhere.
6. Competition from other outlets.....different message boards popping up daily and thing sof that nature.
I think as stated some have left-good and bad, other website boards, although they have only a few people posting, less deals available, poor car rental deals. I think the biggest factor is facebook and blogs.

Good to have Justmare back, but when we lose Gregrio it was a big loss.
Nothing to do with less spendable income or competition from other outlets.
All to do with continuously broken promises - site is still painfully slow a year after they promised to fix it I renewd because they assured me it would be fixed in a month!
Viruses on site lasted for several days,
Treatment of members - one member posted that he made an error when he filled in his renewal and received this years rewards book - but what he really wanted was next years book. They made him mail this years back before they would issue a replacement. There isn't even an ounce of trust for the members? Would it have killed anyone to say no problem - new book is on the way?
Defensive attitude rather than active, or better still proactive from mnagement
I have been a member for about 10 years. Site is dead so major benefit is Rewards book - I can get 2 American Casino Guides and change for what I pay LVA for 1 book. My subscription expires in January - I won't be renewing.

Very sad - it used to be good before ego replaced customer service

BINGO. I myself am starting to migrate over to vegasmessageboard.com. That forum seems to get a TON of action. Debating whether I will renew my membership here next year or receive the coupon book.

I am also on more boards for my specific interest which is slots, such as slotfanatics.com.

The lack of a working search function here really chaps my hide.
double posted! doh.
