Also     http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/    (what a name!)
(links to the same stacks as revOnline)

It is used.
Downloads: The "staff pick" there hase close to 9000 downloads.
Uploads: There are several stacks dating from this year.
I think most people didn't realize that "Sample Stacks"(=revOnline)
in the IDE is working again (very fast and without any crash on LC 6/7/8).

If you mean that some people prefer dropBox: They could set a link
in revOnline (if they won't use revOnline directly).

** This not-using-revOnline applies also to you. **
So I can't understand that you are getting angry about a few dropBox
links here.

Also the forum DB is used. One problem with it is sometimes the sizeLimit
of 250K. I have  a lot of stacks for download in the forum, mostly in the
"Raspi"-collection.

This started and grew up while revOnline was "dead" (for several years).
The same may apply to other "collections" all around the web.

Perhaps there should be more links to livecodeshare (and a description how
to have this in the IDE).
Even our livecode.org page (a lot of thanks to you for that) ignores
majestically
the revOnline/livecodeshare collection in the "community" tab ...
