Alleyways To Torah

Please do me a favor. Read the Rambam Hilchos Taaniyos. In those halachos the Rambam mandates fast days for both personal and communal tzoros [outside of the traditional fast days]. I see a lot of tzoros but I don't see very much fasting... [One notable exception is a good friend of mine who fasted recently for an unemployed friend.]
Why is this Rambam ignored?

Please help me.
