Bong said he thinks things seem different on TC. Does anyone disagree with that? Yes or no. Not asking for reasons, qualifications, or pointing fingers, or blaming anyone for anything. It is different. It IS! Whether because of natural ebb and flow or what, but it's different. Just about everyone I've talked to who's been a member (or lurker) for more than six months thinks so. So I still think he just said what we've all noticed in some way, shape or form. Is it really that EVERYONE has suddenly become SO busy that they where they once posted at least once a week, now they sometimes don't show up for well over a month? Or is it maybe that they don't keep up as vigilantly because they're bored? Or irritated? And if that's so, it's a good idea to call attention to it and try to get things back on track, if possible.
I personally noticed a bit of a drop-off when certain members (and/or former members) were posting just to start arguments. I think it turned a lot of people off. Some seem to think that's what this thread was doing. I don't. I think it was a valid question, and one for which people should shelve their personal sensitivities for a minute or two and think about objectively.

P.S. Tiki Chris and Chacha~
Are you speaking in regards to the subject of this thread or about Bong's tone in general? I ask you to think about what he's asked here as if someone else had asked it, without your bias against him.
And what I meant is, until I learned to appreciate sushi and computers for their good points, they put me off too. Bong has made some good points, here and elsewhere.
