All I can say right now is Steve_G left and then Colin, one of the admin guys, left and the numbers dropped like a rock. I've been in contact with Bill and Kerry and both of them have been working long hours just on Project Camelot and all the emails and work that it generates. They are grateful for your donations and subscriptions fees and we'll see if Bill can be a little bit more present on the forum. Kerry, as she posted some time ago wants to concentrate her energies with Project Camelot, and then we see a few days ago the LA conference was canceled, and my heart goes out to her and those that were trying to get it off the ground. We will be taking action to discuss what went wrong and how to move forward - but this is going to take some time, it can't happen overnight.
From my POV many conjectures about the drop in numbers are pure speculation:
Colin could have changed the settings when he left, so people don't appear to be logged in for as long. I'll see if Gareth knows anything on that one. A bunch could have decided to leave the building along with Colin and Steve - surely there would be some chatter out on the other forums about it, but I can't find any.
Another for sure thing is Egg left very upset with what happened in THEWATCHER thread and some could have followed him out the door. I took 3 hours looking through that thread last night and was very sick to my stomach before I could finish. Being a nine on the Ennegram, I could truly understand everyone's point of view. Kerry did step in and call the shot on which way that one would go. Of course many disagreed with that and decided to leave.
Mercury recently went retrograde. I feel like I have a case of swine flu brain flu. It is spring and more people are attending to real world activities such as, gardens, being outdoors, the big meditation and Mother's day on Sunday.
People came here with great expectations that this forum would fulfill some life-long dreams, such as connecting with like minded folks. When expectations are not met some people get disgruntled and depart. Life is wave and I think more people will be attracted here and join us. Meanwhile, I'll do what I can to facilitate communication about the deep-seated issues that drove people away.
I am thrilled also to be in this part of the cell division.,
