Everything changes. People change. They get older, they get married, they have kids, they get jobs, they spend less time messing about on internet forums and more time getting on with their lives (until you get as old as me and Rog and then you suddenly find yourself with more time on your hands again cos you are too old and achey to go out partying every night ) And newer, younger people come along, with different views, different ideas, different outlooks on life, and so it goes on.
I've been here since about 1998/9 and I understand that people move on etc but in it's hey day the dirty forums had lots of people contributing to threads and there were probably 100+ new posts each day. These days there's often less than 10 posts in 24 hours

Hanging onto the nice nostalgia of Dubnobass and STITI is fine, but that's a decade+ ago. UW have in recent years been extremely prolific and varied in output.
I don't want UW to release a clone of Dubno everytime, I just feel that their last 2 album have seen a huge drop off in quality to the first three. The last one was a marked improvement on AHDO but still not a patch on their earlier form. Just my 2c etc
