You know what... let me correct my answer.
We have testimonies fairly often but the person leading the service calls on 2 or 3.
They don't leave it open for whoever to pop up like the old days but they have testimonies.

We stopped it due to too many loony testimonies. But sometimes folks are requested to give one.

Usually if something notable has happened, our pastor will ask someone (specifically) to give a testimony. Every now and then we have testimonies, but usually its "one person on this side", and "one person on that side"...
Every church has a few loonies, so I think it depends on who is present whether or not free rein is given.

We still have it whenever I feel to or the service is just right for it. Sometimes it is a couple times a month and when we have testimonies generally I don't preach the saints all preach and it is a high service generally. It is not hard to have 2 hours of testimonies here but it is not dead.

I used to love it when it was good. But when it got bad, it was really really bad. So and so's kids were backslid and no one from church had visited them....yada yada yada. 
Well, it's good to know that we're not the only ones who have discontinued it. I was just wondering.
