Is the HipPlanet still Hip ?

Sometimes I just wonder if it's my breath or poor English skills that keep folks away. I used to have some snappy repartay from folks here... we had email that would go back and forth or we would find one another on Yahoo!'s instant messenger.
Nowadays I feel as if I'm simply writing to Dear Diary on a webpage rather than in a notebook... and the virtual contacts are falling the wayside the way they did on the old BBSes of days of yore.
