It's been years since I've been active on this site. Recently acquired some tarantulas again after being out the hobby for 3 years. Very surprised to find this forum so quiet.
So where is everyone? Is this a dying hobby?

It is pretty sad, but allot of people left the hobby and in general the whole hobby is pretty much quite or died out!
Even face book sites are dead...
all interest was lost in transit.

Hi Werner
It's not so much that the hobby is dying, more a case of social media shifting a bit. Most of the hobbyists are now on tarantula whatsapp groups

No idea if they're even in the hobby anymore.
