Actually plenty is going on behind the scenes. The lack of interest on the list with new falls has finally driven most of us working actively on such new falls to no longer bother with sharing much. Sadly many of the people here actually aren't interested in actual meteorites, but other things. It takes time to compose emails, share information, and write about these adventures and to share with a thousand people who don't actually care, is a waste of that time. I know many of the people working these falls now, though for the last two I have not had time to go and with Novato, I decided to pass on that fall since the scientific response was so poorly handled and the overwhelming chaotic "treasure hunt" mentality of the locals make it a hunt I did not want to participate in.
Over the years I have seen the responses on here drop to nothing other than attacks after a fall, so I think that mostly the reason you don't see many hunters bothering with it. Most information has gone the Facebook route.
