I believe they did.

The percentage of people in these hobbies was never that large and simple economics dictates that they should have tried to "generate" interest. No one seemed to care. A friend of mine put it well when he said that the "old hobbies", not just this one, decided they couldn't compete with video etc etc and didnt try.

Maybe i missed what they tried to do, but so did everyone else.
