The last year has been weird and I don't think we will all go back to normal overnight.
The internet went mad, with many more at home and we saw forum chat grow massively, including many online fights probably due to lockdown
Forums are a little quieter now because (I think) there's not much else to talk about and with car prices a bit bonkers, not that many changing I think. I have cracking offers for the M5, but can't find a replacement and it is probably too much time in front of the laptop pushing the idea.
Plus the weather and with the kids summer holidays now here, so many people will get away and close their laptops and iPads for a bit.
