Re^2: Are monks hibernating?

[blahblahblah]

I've also noticed things slowing down lately.

I think you're very right about the google problem. I wonder if there's any correlation between the end of the perlmonks.thepen.com site and a dwindling number of new users?

I'd love to have some form of google search working again. I used to rely on it a lot, and I never seem to be able to find things as easily now with Super Search.

I found Perlmonks through google hits at ThePen. I got the answer to a few questions this way and when I finally came up short I tried my first post to PM. I was stunned by the speed, accuracy and knowledge of the responses . I signed up for an account shortly thereafter. I think the loss of ThePen must have a deleterious effect on new recruits.

Cheers,
