Some long time senior members have left, in a dispute over moderating. I have stayed, but I am not posting as much.
I am NOT saying this is the only cause, but could be a factor when combined with the winter slow down.
Yea, blame it on the Moderators. I have seen several of your posts complaining about the moderation here, and It seems you have just stayed on so you can complain about it!
It is true, some of the old members did leave because of the Moderators, their trolling/flamming posts were no longer being tolerated.
The members who follow the rules seem to have no problems.
Actually he is correct. Many have left because of over moderating. Not by all Mods of course. You have never seen a post of mine complain about it. But that don't mean I'm blind. I have wondered what happened to some of the innocent posts that disappeared though.
This is the least amount of pages I have seem since 2004. Christmas also has some to do with it. Even on Popup Explorer the number is way down. The only forum I have seen that really has a lot of posts going is IRV2. They have 9 pages just yesterday, and today. 15+ pages going since the 24th.
Over moderation is a key component of the fade in posts. I have cut back too. The wannabe moderator kid has no idea the creativity we can employ. Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
