Will AF last forever?

[GUBU]

Like the Great Red Spot, it seems like message posts are declining.

Nah, the heat death of the universe will see to that. In the shorter term we'll have to recapture Minimalist and chain him back to the site.

This.

A good number of posters left screaming they wouldn't be back (even though one was logged on a couple of days ago)  Hi, youknowwhoyouare!.

It takes time for a forum to rebuilt its membership.

We'll get there.

When you flounce out and then talk lots of crap about the place you left knowing your ranting will be seen by those you flounced away from, there's not really a smooth way to slink back in.  The spying is about carrying information back to the new group and/or hoping to find that someone is wishing (no, pining) for your return.

What, are The New Forum ™ still pissing and moaning about us? I know there were a lot of legitimate gripes about the atmosphere here at the time (though 95% of the atmosphere was created by CL and the five amigos she was bent on cheer-leading), but the few times I looked over there it was ridiculous what was being bandied about about this site.
