When/what date did the lessening/fewer posts by fewer persons?  I refer especially to those that Ronald mentioned.

We get great participation on the board, but it seems like some of the ladies who used to post with great frequency --- Heather of Tampa, Paris Bouvier, Sexy Toni, Tabu and others -- have been visiting/posting less frequently.

I hope that some of it is related to the calendar, and that they are away on vacation and will return soon.

Am I correct, or just guilty of wishful thinking?

And if it's not the calendar, how can we entice them to come back and participate more often?

Summer, vactions, new format & others.

Of those you mention:

Tabu travels in the summer since she prefers to stay warm in the winter.  Yes her posts are less often, but not gone.

Toni has been spending the summer away from Florida which probably leads to less frequent posts.

Heather was never a big poster.

Only Paris seems to be the one who really hasn't posted in quite a while.

I'm sure they'll all be back.  Things do go in cycles.

We've, or at least I, decided to take a step back from much of the drama. Also: We're too busy laying out by the pool. ;]
