A lot of users have either moved on or got banned. That pretty much explains it.

I kind of dig it. I mean, the first time i came here, i was instantly turned off because the i got frustrated at all the new topics, it's impossible to keep up with. I'd like to keep the pace where it is thanks, this is as much as i can handle.

You posted at 4 am, when most people in the U.S. are sleeping. I'm not saying that everyone that is on GS is from the US, but I'd say a good chunk of them are. Also, people have school work and what not. During the summer it was very fast paced, new topics popping up all over the place, but now people have less time.

Oh...well during the summer this place was pretty moving as I recall. Perhaps only during the late night hours.

I don't know, I haven't really seen a decline.

I'm wracking my brain. Honestly. I'd like to keep out of the realms of religion or politics, but I don't just want to ask people what's on their minds. I haven't seen anything that interesting today. I could tell a story about myself, but that's more blogging material. TBH, I have no idea what threads are normally about, because too often the discussion has next to nothing to do with the original post.

Just make a funny thread, you could create the MS Paint Thread. I'll leave you to figure out the details

Unfortunately, you and your ilk are to blame through overzealous moderating and banning people over nothing. Fear of the banhammer stifles creativity and discussion.

Aggressive moderation puts people off from making interesting topics, a lot of people have been banned, many people have moved on, and people are in school.

I love broad generalizations...
