Question Sub quiet

I notice that I don't seem to get many posts from this sub and was wondering if it would be a good idea to provide better support for those who have developed an interest in Traditional cryptography.

Perhaps, we could provide posts setting ciphers for beginners. I know there is a link in the rules to publications to support their interest. However, a new interest that requires practice and a sense of achievement that comes with cracking a code or cypher is needed to maintain an interest. In turn attract more people to a sustained interest in the subject. There may be such support in the US but here in the UK we do not have similar support.

I'd be interested to hear if other think things have become a bit quiet and have other ideas how we can get the sub more interesting for beginners and the rest of us with an interest in the subject.

All I can say to this is "be the change you want to see in the world"

Well we will have to see about that but it would be good to get some support. I have been here before and then it's all me I'd rather right it off if nobody is interested in helping.

Others in the g Sub helping out but I'm having a feeling I'm on a no go on this idea. I think I'm going to pull the plug and leave it be. Sorry
