Yes, there is not much going on here at all - for several weeks, you might 
see no messages or hardly any but once in a while, like now, some people who 
used to come here, post again like yourself who hasn't posted here for 
months or years. I still check this NG and if I see a post, I check it. As 
far as NG's there are still some that are active, not as many posts but 
sometimes it gets busy for a while then drops off again. I always thought 
NG's served a worthwhile purpose where you could go to discuss subjects of 
interest to yourself and others. I don't know why they gradually disappeared 
though some are still around and some even fairly active. Maybe because of 
Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Yes, that is true. I like Gog best. I bought a game from Steam last year and 
everything was ok, but I don't think most of their games are DRM, but maybe 
some are. Also their website is difficult for me for me to see as most of 
their screens have a black background and it was hard on my eyes. Gog is a 
better website with brighter colours and not a dark screen.
It is probably fine for young or youngish people which is not me.

I haven't come to any puzzle where I had to turn wheels. The baseball puzzle 
was a pain and even who wrote the walk through said they didn't like that 
puzzle but they solved the puzzle and figured anybody who were tryng to 
figure out the puzzle would be glad the person who wrote the walkthrough 
figured it out for those who couldn't figure it out. They were right about 
that. It's good there are smart  people who are good at writing walkthroughs 
or I would be stuck forever on many of those puzzles.
