Doesn't anybody post here anymore?

Ilbegone, if there were more posts like the one you just made I don't think there would be so much "board fatigue", which you referred to earlier when you said you were tired of posting the same things over and over again. I can totally relate to that syndrome, and it also goes for reading the same things over and over again. This is one reason I don't participate in the forum as much as I used to. Your posts are unique in that you have the ability to combine a lot of well-thought out ideas into a coherent post which doesn't just consist of a regurgitation of the same cliches that have been repeated ad nauseum. I think the more thoughtful the post, the more responses it is likely to generate. At least that's what I'd like to believe.

I think we're all missing the obvious. People tune out because there's not as much exciting things happening here. In the old days, street activity was new and interesting. There were wrongs to right, and frauds to expose. New people came and that added to the excitement. But then the newness wore off, as did the welcome of some within, and people moved on to the new sliced bread. I see the new sliced bread as being like the TEA parties. You watch....they'll go the same way. Unfortunately for us, people have a short attention span overall, and they like new things. Holding their attention is hard enough, but asking their participation raises the threshold tenfold. But there are also committed folks out there who don't require such high maintennance. SOS is a non-profit and we don't change our product to suit the fickle world around us. People can rely on us to be here when they need us, and they will. In addition, we will go through another cycle of popularity and interest. Maybe soo, maybe later.

I sure hope it will be soon and continue.
