Hi Dave, I think that actually what is more updated is VFPx site with it's various projects in it, and may be Foxite and Universal Thread.
Almost all other sites are with too little or no movement, which I think it is understandable, given the lack of support from M$ and that Devs are going to other languages. The best part of VFP right now is part of the Community that keeps interacting, even when not developing in VFP anymore. There are new members on some forums too, but mainly they are a new type of devs very boring ans lazy that do not want to learn or test and that preffer to use the other's times, they want the quick answer right for copy/paste into their code, even they don't want to press F1 because "that requires a lot of reading" as someone answered when asked about why not querying the help file (true!) You can found many of them on Foxite, UT, Google Groups and some other sites. This kind of dev makes participating a lot less fun and it's one of the causes for people going out of the forums.
