As for the lack of stuff recently, I dunno. For me it's less interesting as there aren't many young people here any more and there isn't much drama
I feel pretty much the same way.
Over the years, I've grown to like a lot of people here a lot, and because of that, I will always keep returning. Even if it is just to see how everyone's doing.
I tend not to stick around though, because much as I like the membership, the site just doesn't feel at all like the site that I joined and quickly grew to love. It's hard to put my finger on exactly what changed, although I think Pyraxis has made one or two true suggestions.
I think that on a small site like this, it can take only a few people stopping posting, and a few new people posting, to change the overall feel of the place. Its natural that the regular membership will change over time, and the site will change with that.
