This bb is very dead.

There is at lease 150000 java programmers out there. Why is this ubb so inactive? Maybe you need to advertise more.

You're right. I do need to advertise more.
I just got back from Dallas - will try to do more this up coming week.

But I do admit. The name of it is pure genius. You will never hear anybody say..."Gee what was the name of that Java Bulletin Board's name? I just can't remember."
Just remember "Electric Porkchop" and you will always find it near the top 10 of a search mixed with recipe sites for Porkchops.

This is one of those rare occasions when I'm proud to stand up and say "I named this! I am that genius!"

So how long has this site been around?

About half a year.
In the beginning things were rolling pretty good. Then I got involved in some big projects and things slowed down.
