While I agree with your last comment the most, when you consider the amount of people that not more than 4-5 months ago flourished on that site on a daily basis to the tune of 60-70 posts & new threads in 2 days wasn't uncommon if not slowed times.
I dont think that the owner(s) of that site have realized yet the massive drop in the last month alone. Its apparent its not his only income stream perhaps but I am pretty sure that once he sees a repeat this month in revenue either from post counts or Google ad revenue, he's (they're) gonna come check out the site to find basically its a sinking ship; because rather than participate and stayed on board, he decidedly put it on cruise control, its pin-balling its way through icebergs right now, taking on water in multiple compartments at an exponential rate.
It is sad, I don't think anyone whose been on there any length of time and has perhaps now migrated here doesn't feel some remorse or have heavy thoughts about that site while having a true concern for its well being; Kind of like that Ex-GF you truly loved but after a falling out you realize the only thing she has to offer is her looks, nothing else, and in 10 years that may be questionable along with the loyalty of the relationship.
I am sure if at some point we see the street sweepers on the site, as I am sure none of us are really wanting to let go too soon in hopes it does turn around but.. many of us will likely travel in conversations abroad again on more than one site.
But until that digital STD condition is administered.. my presences will be nothing less than shy.
