Fundamentally Boring

[A Black Falcon]

OB1 was a loose cannon and the desicion to revoke his admin powers was warranted, I believe. He's threatened to delete my account before ovr arguments. He was no longer able to be trusted with his powers and he lost them. I don't even think that had anything to do with his departure, it was all about us not wanting to bend to his rules merely because he was the "most active poster". Good riddance.

The deletion threats were definitely far out of line, but like I've always said, I just think that the benefit of having him here outweighed the problems it brought with it... I've really, really noticed the immediate, dramatic, and seemingly permanant drop in posting by at least half (and no, that whole half was not those many stupid one-line posts, it was many longer ones as well.), and it's quite unfortunate. If predictable. :(

As for finding new members, I haven't tried that hard, because I can't think of a good reason really that I'd recommend the place above others, and because I don't know that many people well, and because I don't see how one or two more members would change much of anything...

GR is right though. We're a close-knit group with little to offer, and it's tough for newbies to integrate, or at leats they see it that way. Even deanna stayed for a while but eventually left because she never did feel like she fit in here. I think that's why she left, even after being so regular.

This I do agree with, though.
