None that I’ve noticed. That said, I doubt the NCMC is anywhere near it’s last gasps–but without a system for comments or a forum, and with all of the spammers everywhere, I really don’t want to be on it. Not that I was fond of the community in the first place–but you post wherever you can post, for better or worse. So, it isn’t that I want it to die–mostly I’d love to see it replaced by something better…but that something better doesn’t exist yet.
At the moment, it seems like a few authors other than me have taken to blogs and tumblrs as places to post their own stuff, but there isn’t really much of a system for collecting the posts together, and no one seems to be posting as much content as I am anyway. So, if anyone has ideas, I’d be happy to plug them and help out, but since I have zero programming experience, I can’t do much beyond getting the word out.
