Where'd the free stuff go?

Hi,

I've been away from Delphi for a bit and thought I'd get back into it.

I picked up D7 and started working on one of my old projects.

Many of the shareware/freeware components wouldn't work in D7 which was
no surprise.

But when I went looking for updates I found that none of them are
available for D6 or D7. Further, many of the old sites I used to
frequent for components are gone or seem to be out of date (Delphi
pages, Delphi 32, Delphi Super page, Delphi Deli and more).

Delphi32 is still alive but I found very little freeware for D6 or D7.

So what's happening. Is the Delphi community shrinking? Has interest
waned? Or have new sites taken the place of the old ones?

Can someone point me to a good repository for freeware components?

What happened to RXLib? Is it dead?

Thanks for your help,

Frank
