Although the subscriber count is down from the peak in the 1995-96 era,
before there were a lot of other places to discuss the Huskers on
the net, the subscriber count has stayed fairly constant for the last 
two or three years.  

It looks like there may be about as much space devoted to Husker volleyball
as to Husker Football in today's Journal-Star.  The lead story on the 
football team has to do with the absence of a depth chart, part of the
media blackout that Callahan has imposed.  

I don't think it's just this list.

If anybody's active on other online forums, I'd be curious to know if 
they're seeing less traffic than in years past too.

Traffic should pick up when there is something interesting happening, 
like it did when the Huskers went to the CWS.  

(I suspect the traffic here is more than on a board run by someone I
know, it's devoted to the National Hockey League.)
