I don't know if the correlation between new underworld material being released in relation to the amount of discussion on the forums is that strong.

The forums seem to have their own ebb and flow to them in specific topical areas. A new album comes out and a flurry of activity occurs in the headset forum. A new film comes out and a thread may pop up in treatment, or it may not depending on the relevance and interest(or lack thereof) at a given time of year. A reboot, refit, rejiggle is always periodically needed, but then there is always the unquantifiable factor of people coming and going from forums.

There has been quite a drop off in the amount of posters who had previously been around for years. While it's always unfortunate to lose people, that's the way things go. Life imposes itself in ways that one cannot always foresee and posting messages online about a film you might have just seen or a book you just read doesn't always seem that necessary.

I like the idea of categories and separation, but that's just one man's opinion.
