There was one particular member who kept on telling me not to use Schultz for an avatar or else younger members will start seeing me as a Nazi. The very moment I stood up for my right to use Schultz, he disappeared and hasn't been back for nearly 2 years. I think he left because of me. I am very hard to control.

I object to you using Om Nom as your avatar because people will see you as a legume. Or worse yet a pod person :mrgreen:

I've noticed that a few of the members haven't come back. The more free-spirited members.

Maybe a lot from here have gone over to that other site.

It seems that WP is a shell of its former self.

Social media. It's ruined everything.

QUESTIONS
Should more folk be encouraged to visit WP? Or, should it be left to die?
This is the only web community I belong to. Personally, if it dies I don't know where else to go to.

What could motivate more folk to visit WP?
Including:
⃝ Old users who thought it died and moved elsewhere.
⃝ New users that are completely unfamiliar with WP.

Um...I assume/hope Cornflake and, especially, Alex would like WP to be more active.
What kinds of posts would most likely encourage interaction by otherwise quiet WP members?

Questions asking for votes?

I've noticed people don't even use Facebook much any more these days. All I get on my feed is scary right-wing rage bait, and old posts from people that they posted about a month or so ago. It's as though people just don't really go on Facebook much any more.

But I don't know what other social media sites are like activity-wise, as I don't go on them.
