I have really learned from this and definitely enjoyed the interaction with many of our members. Please stay active.

I think there are fewer officials really interested in depth and improvement and of course, are spending online time on other sources. I hate to say it, but most of those I remember have retired or passed.

I'm glad you are still connected and glad you posted that.

So why didn't you go to Cecil1 so that we would still know who you are!

How have you been and have there been members on here who have passed of which I don't know??

I tried Cecil1, Cecil2, Cecil3 before getting the new id to set up. It's too bad there was no support available.

There isn't any support here?? I have never needed it so I had no idea.

The discussions took a nose-dive when the pandemic shut down sports for the better part of 2020.

The sport resumed, but the discussion board never really rebounded.
I've never really understood why.

Yes, there is an inter-galactic shortage of umpires and we are losing more than we are bringing in. But there is a lot of ball going on and there should be a commensurate volume of plays, questions, interps, etc.

Who knows what tomorrow may bring?

Strange days indeed.

I know I am guilty of not being as active on here as I once was. Work, other demands on my time....etc. But I do try to check in here even if I am just ghosting.

Other forms of online interaction, such as modern social media platforms, have taken a bigger share of the discussion participation.

Forums like this one, and the Bulletin Board systems they replaced, are the OG social media...but their moment in the sun might be coming to an end.
