Hello, Yes, I fully support UKB in current (Wordpress) shape.
The fact that only few post is connected with the fact that posting in UKB is seen as more "formal" than unformal e-mail communication. On the other hand this more formal appearance has positive side - it increases quality of contributions. I would always prefer few quality UKB articles than lots of forum/list noise. Elitetrader for example is forum-based. The amount of "noise" there is enormous.
