no, just shows how sad FH has become with duplicate threads and trolls... I don't even go in there anymore...
its strange i was just looking here for some quick apple rumors last summer during the low points of being a fresh out of college grad... stared at FH for several months and have since abandoned that ship...
Late 2002 FH have more posts than AO. Now it's the contrary. I think it's two to three months old.
FH is less interesting. There was hundred of posts concerning the 970. Now we know nearly as much of this chip than the current G4. It's difficult to find something new about it.
But i have no doubt that FH will become very active in the future again.
I don't see what is surprising about it. One forum deals only with speculation on the very narrow category of non-existent apple hardware while the other is open to discussion about anything at all non-Apple in the world. Even considering that the former is the focus of the site, the latter just offers so much more to talk about that it seems perfectly understandable to me that AppleOutsider would have more posts.
FH was the forum that got me involved in AI, and it's still the first forum I check after logging in. Yea, it's a bit slow right now, but FH has always been a 'feast or famine' type place. And sure, there's been a lot of duplicate threads like Paul said lately, but the FH mods do a fine job, and, well, the trolls in FH don't have the voracity of, say, ena. So things are OK.

You are right, many of us (this was the case for me) come to AI for FH. With times as we become addictive to AI, we love to post. It's difficult to make news posts each days in FH, therefore we tend to post in AO. As CoD said there is so much subjects that can interest us in AO.
So if AO tend to be the more popular forum of AI, FH will still be the heart of AI.
you just have to wait for another ressurection. What about WWDC ?
Exactly. The minute the 970 is previewed at WWDC we'll be seeing Kit&Gary on AI's front page due to the overwhelming rush of 'normal' people looking for info. Pull down your handy little 'Who's Online' tab for a minute. Now look at all the 'guests'. Where do you think they're looking?? FH. Nuff said.

and plenty of war/politics/distractions lumped in AO (and no FSC to take the spleen)
What future hardware?
Life is (still) good.

I think the heart is down further on the list now.
