For well over a year, I've been noticing a relative scarcity of posts on
pretty much every costume-related mailing list and bulletin board of
which I am a member (several dozen). Many of these groups, including
h-costume, were formerly very active. The general, noncostume sewing
groups are an exception--they seem to be as active as ever.
I don't really consider Facebook a substitute because their message
limits and format don't cater to either long messages or complicated
interchanges.
Is costuming going out of style, as it were? Is reenactment less
popular? Are people traveling less to events because of the recession,
therefore making fewer outfits for attending events, therefore not
discussing those projects? Is everyone hanging out on new lists I've
never heard of? Where ARE all the costumers hanging out, if not on
h-costume?
