Hi, I am a freelance for Dutchess county and am always on top of the latest events, I see this board is dead and that's a shame, I would like to post constantly to this to keep everyone updated but would it hold value? would anyone care for that or is it dead for a reason?
I'm assuming you're referring to the Incidents and Breaking News forum since that's the forum you posted your message in.
If that's the case, there's many reasons why people don't post much here.
People get tired of a running commentary and big events get missed.
People are more discreet in what they post so officials don't decide to encrypt.
Many news organizations are using social media so there are now easier ways to get breaking news than having to log into a forum. Incident notification networks are another way of spreading the word of something worth listening to in realtime.
Some members feel the need to repost news articles of events that have already happened. Not much point since there's not much to listen to after the fact.
