Just curious, but does anyone frequent the Knowledge Base anymore? (Did anyone ever? Or is it just me?)

Also, does anyone still link to articles from the KB in reviews?

I link to articles in reviews all the time, especially about grammar. And I snoop around there quite a bit when I'm looking for help with a specific area-- perspective, talking heads (Dreamer has a good article on that), description, etc. I hope that it's still used!
"Let's eat, Grandma!" as opposed to "Let's eat Grandma!": punctuation saves lives.

Whenever I do reviews, I try to link to a KB article since it's a lot easier than me explaining such and such. Plus, the KB articles are going to be more helpful/useful 95% of the time.

I don't frequent it often but I do link to an article there now and then.

Chances are I link one to two articles a review. Sometimes when needed I'll link more, in some cases a lot more. They are so useful.

But, I'm Resources Crew and see every article/comment that goes through there, so I'm biased. :P

I link when I remember, and I occasionally browse. Lots of good stuff in there (though some articles give me the itch to edit).

I just linked to one of the posts in the KB yesterday in a review. And I check it occasionally to see what new posts there are.

psychopaths and mystery writers.

I've read almost every Writing Tutorial and the grammar one articles. They've been super helpful. :) I've linked to them in reviews, occasionally. I would have more, but I didn't find it till a couple months ago. Anyways, I love KB to pieces!

It's nice to hear that people still use it. :) I've always been fond of the KB. It doesn't seem like a lot of newer members know so much about it, though?

I'm going to be perfectly honest...

This is the first time I've ever heard about them. :P
I didn't know what to put here so I put this.

Seriously. More people should look at the "Resources" tab. :P All three databases, the short story generator, and 101 Tips for Writers are there.
