Someone mentioned to me that Google Groups was doing a better job with the spam, so I've been keeping an eye on the newsgroups the last couple days. The intfiction forums are great and all, but I can't say I don't miss the hopping r*if days. In any case, I think I'm going to be back here for a while.
There are a lot of great reasons to use the popular systems out there today like Inform 7 and TADS 3 (and any others I didn't mention). That said, I personally am still happy with my choice of Hugo and would recommend it to anyone who is unsure which IF system calls out to them. It is just code-y enough for someone like me to see what it is doing without going too far into hardcore-coder-land. Of course, that's up to personal preference, but I still encourage people to check it out.
We have improved Hugo documentation a lot with the creation of the site Hugo by Example (http://hugo.gerynarsabode.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) and continue to answer questions over at Robb Sherwin's joltcountry forum (http://www.joltcountry.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=8). I'd be happy to answer questions here as well, now that I'm paying attention.
Kent Tessman has been busy working on a new baby, a screenwriting program called Fade In (http://www.fadeinpro.com/). I'd recommend it to all aspiring screenwriters out there. That said, I know he'd like to return to Hugo one day, so it is definitely not a dead language.
Anyhow, just glad to see that people are still kicking it here. Keep up the good work, raif.

Glad to see Hugo alive. I’ve always liked the games I’ve played that were
written in Hugo, and I think games like ‘Guilty Bastards’ and ‘Future Boy!’
are nice examples of how graphics, sound and music can work well in IF.
