It is the summer here too, school is out and people are crawling out from under the basement stairs for the first time in a year, getting severe sunburn, or a stomach parasite from eating under cooked hamburgers, good times. A lot people are going camping, and getting eaten by the Squibbles, they always go after the nuts

I think people are leaving because the site has progressively gotten less fun and more well-known (therefore more public) since I joined. Well, that's why I've considered leaving at least. There are fewer people here whose posts I want to read, fewer threads that interest me, and I know that when I write something personal, some 100,000 people may find it through Wikipedia or other sources. Out of all those people, there's bound to be someone who will recognize me some time.
But then I think that if lots of people leave, the site will slowly start to get better again because it will be at just the right size . . . or something.
So I keep coming around every once in a while, just to check up on things, and try out new avatars, and stuff.
I'm also trying to cut down on Internet socializing (except with the people I already PM with). I've decided I don't want to meet any new people online - meeting people IRL is better for me. And I'm in a situation where I should be doing so and have plenty of opportunities. It's bad for me to be wasting time here when I could be writing papers, applying for jobs, and going out and making new friends. |

The case of the disappearing members topic
It is a conspiracy! It is cannibalism!
Maybe Zomg Aspies!

Its because new members turn up and haven't yet had the chance to talk about these things in other places, bless them, I remember how excited I was when I arrived here and started posting seriously  |

I'm on/off periodically because my internet connection is down. I'm on my Dad's laptop at the minute. So I'm not kidnapped pr anything. Honest.

Certain members are being unfairly banned. That's what I've heard.

Maybe people are getting fed up of it, and I doubt that many people are having a fun holiday, although an eventful summer holiday - maybe - but not necessarily fun, who knows? Well, the question looks for answer and I'm not sure anyone really knows.
I've been considering leaving because I am not even diagnosed. It's worth bearing in mind that "everybody does that."
Lately I think I might hate everyone, even my best friends. Meh, this isn't even anything to do with the topic, it's actually not very good that I'm posting this. I should stop. I should stop anyway I'm pretty pathetic.
Anyways, I'm not very active myself lately, I'm a bit bored with it. |

Let's see.
-WP is going downhill,
-ZomgAspies is stealing all our members.
That's three swigs already.
A more logical explanation would be that it's summer, so people are spending more time outside and less time cramped up in front of the puter.

oh my things have changed here.
are people really disappearing? like abductions? or some new mafia hit? or did the circus pass through recruiting new acts?
i feel like that guy that rip van winkle man that fell asleep for 20 years then wakes up a confusing mess.
