I expect, the longer this continues, the more likely it will be that people will have to downsize their collections to cover their basics, resulting in some excellent deals. Then. when things pick up, people will be able to shop again to restart their projects or round out their collections.

Yeah, it certainly is affecting this site. Banner advertising is WAY down, as are click throughs for the Google ads. Sponsorships and paid memberships have dropped off too. I haven't audited the sponsorship ads lately, so I'm sure when I do that a lot of them will be deleted from the forums. That isn't automated like some other stuff here, so I put if off much longer than I really should.
I guess a lot of businesses will go under because of this. Which will likely include online only businesses too.
Tough times are ahead, it appears.
