I don't think its sad. The forum is only a small part of this site... just like on most other sites. For example, pretty much any tab site has forums, but barely anyone who goes to mxtabs or taborama is going to use those. This site's "main thing" (or atleast from my perspective) is tips and "tricks" shared between gutiarists through the internet. The forum has a handful of regulars, and plenty of people who may have just had one question.
