We're still waiting for trysts2 to read the gg thread.
Why is everyone leaving?

I read that thread and a whole bunch of other threads when I came back. The first week I was back I spent most of it reading threads. What's really kind of strange is that people you don't know seeming like they're familiar with you. You just don't know if they changed their name, or if you forgot who they were. The tubester was like that. I never heard of him before, but he seemed to know me and everyone else. It was weird as I was only gone a few months.

Two frequent contributors, the "Tubester" and "Bronsteinitz" have closed their accounts recently. Other high-profile, outspoken, and popular members (such as Kenpo) have been banned in the last three months.
Does anyone have any explanation of what is happening and what this bodes for this site?

Yeah, I'm sure you know all about it and are super concerned

Some people just wear out their identity and choose to leave. Often coinciding with subscription lapsing.
