Is it my imagination, or is the incidence of language questions in the forums less now than it used to be, with the appearance on-line of NPIV, and more people becoming aware of the Tekstaro as a consultable resource for settling questions of usage?

I had a question about peti vs demandi a few days ago. Went to ReVo to see if I could solve it by myself - I couldn't. Went to online NPIV - problem solved.
So that's at least one case where your assumption is correct, and it's probably safe to assume I'm not the only one in that case.

I agree that it seems like there are fewer language questions. It's both good and bad. It's great to have such a source, but I remember that when I was starting, I learned so much from the language discussions that I found in the forum. They often added a lot of additional information and addressed questions that I hadn't yet thought about asking.

What exactly should be causing more people becoming aware of the Tekstaro exactly now? It’s been around for a long time.

Or they could be searching this forum and find that their questions have already been answered. I've done that a few times.
