Mass exodus?

[Calandale]

I like pissing in rivers.

From high up, or going balls deep?

It would cause a mass exodus.

we need to get people to come back.

Send pm messages to encourage the return of non-active members about twice per year. Usually works to lure back at least one; getting them back is one thing but keeping them back seems to be another thing entirely.

Works for me. Sharing personal shit has only caused trouble in the past so these days I just shitpost for a month or two before buggering off.

Yes, it seems when you return it's to dig that stuff up, re-reading upsetting posts and negging the karma of people who aren't here anymore. It's a shame this place does that to you. It's nice having you around.

I like to see where I've come from, that and one of the better motivators (at least for me) is spite and salt. Only reason why I look at that shit from time to time.
Shitposting is another thing, with the memes and the like.

'twas volume I spake.

It's the nature of I², and the personalities that stick around. For some it's only fun for a while, and after that while it stops being fun and becomes something else entirely.

For me this place can sometimes seem down right nasty and exceedingly unfriendly. Very unwelcoming indeed. I can only imagine what it might seem like to someone with a similar personality as like me who doesn't have history with the site...

Not saying I² should change or anything silly like that, just that it's good to be aware of what I² is and isn't, and it isn't the most welcoming of places, so getting new people to come here is always going to be hard, and every member that leaves is going to be sorely felt.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Welcome back.

[Pyraxis]

The trick is to be welcoming without being politically correct.

[Trigger 11]

I always have this as a tab on the browser on my iPad that I never close, even when I am not around.

not that we ever had many members, AFN has lost a lot also

Welcome back.

Don't be so hasty

There's a lot of Autistics on Twitter, using the hashtags #ActiallyAutistic and #askingautistics maybe that's where everyone has gone?
