I am quite willing to entertain that notion if you are willing and able to back up the claim.
From my perspective I see fewer and fewer persons showing up at rallies in support of "questioning the OS" of 9/11/01
I doubt you were ever hanging out at these rallies.
I witnessed but one personally, five guys pestering passers-by on a street corner in a Mid-Canada city.
I did not attend the first "Woodstock" festival either but I know for a fact the Jonie Mitchel was overly optimistic with the characterization of attendance being "half a million strong".
There are the reports of other 9/11 rallies in which the organizers 'expect' hundreds only to see a few dozen show up. There are the wide calls for people to participate in rallies and when checked out by skeptics it is seen that very few show up. There are the 9/11TM supporters who show up and disrupt Amy Goodman and others who get zero support from any other audience member. (even "don't taze me bro" got some support from others in the audience)

I see fewer persons joining web forums that are "questioning the OS" of 9/11/01. "
Web forums aren't the only place these things are discussed. There's the work-place, the family dinner table, the bowling alley, etc.
,,, and you would characterize a word of mouth distribution of 'the message' to be a garnering of greater support?
In my experience there is zero talk of any 9/11 conspiracy theories in my workplace, my family or the curling team I am on(I don't bowl).
(ETA: I asked a friend who is on an after work hockey team and on a baseball team in the summer. Nope, no talk at all about 9/11CT's that he has witnessed!This is despite the fact that I do not keep it secret that I am a skeptic and quite willing to discuss conspiracy theories concerning 9/11/01, JFK, the Apollo program and a few others. I hardly think that I am so intimidating (at 5'7" tall) that people simply are afraid of speaking to me about these things.
(ETA:My nephew did recently ask me about the Apollo hoax theories, "dust falls too fast" specifically. I answered him and asked him about 9/11. He does not believe any of the theories about 9/11 that he has heard of, (Pentacon, no-planes, WTCx explosives)

I see less and less coverage of the "questioning the OS" of 9/11/01 in the media
Which media? Did the MSM ever really cover it much, anyway?
Well there have been 9/11 proponents on all the major networks including Fox News, there have been whole shows dedicated to 9/11 conspiracies on American and foreign networks, not all of which are unfriendly to the 911TM
However I use the past tense in that last sentence because there simply are no more.

So I do not understand how you come up with that claim. Please illuminate me because in my view "questioning the OS" of 9/11/01 has stagnated at best.
OK, then move along; nothing to worry about. n
A snide remark is hardly an answer to the question. Tweeter proposed that the 911TM is gaining support. I disagree and would like some evidence to support the claim made. I gave my reasons for my view. You attacked only my reasoning (albeit rather weakly )rather than offer anything to support Tweeter's contention.
(Maybe everybody is too busy trying not to go broke).
Hmmm, that did not seem to be the case 7 years ago while the stock market was plummeting due to the effect of 9/11. Within days of Sept 11/01 I was reading on the Blackvault that the towers had explosives in them and shortly after that, that a missile had been responsible for the Pentagon damage. There were numerous proponents of a vast array of theories flying around the internet. Now. although there are still a vast number of theories, some of which are mutually exclusive, flying about, there are fewer proponents pushing them. Just a hard core with their own fav's to champion.
Being out of work would seem to be the perfect opportunity to attend rallies in one's home town. Maybe the next NYC rally will be better attended.
