Since many months it seems to me, that fewer and fewer people are
participating the POV-Ray news groups. In addition, answers to my postings
take more and more time to come in.
I wonder, if the POV-Ray community, once famous and gloriful as the render
software is, is now in the process of ... dying. Is it?

Maybe they're too busy enjoying the 3.7 betas, now that they're getting
more and more useful? ;-)

I thought an emoticon would be too much for such an obvious joke. :P
yes, we can't count on the few elite folks using newsgroups to be representative
of anything. The web is much larger than Usenet will ever be.

Never too much but I knew you were joking. I had serious thoughts of you
counting the recent posts. ;-)

Probably, slowly. There are other cheap solutions out there, many of
which are more popular. Most people don't really care about some of the
advanced features POV-Ray offers, and they are mainly exporting into
real-time applications like video games anyway.
