It's just like everything else...Once the new wears off, people move on.

Once the novelty wears off, people's interest wanes.

Also, when it comes to blogs and forums, as always seems the case, after awhile it becomes a viscous repeating cycle of never ending re-hashing of the same 'ol subjects until the end result is no longer open and honest productive discussion, but that of petty spell checking and attacks on other people's perspective.

I have yet to see a single forum that does not end up in this position. Because 99.99% of the people in this world operate 99.99% of the time from ego and not from a space of infinite love (I too am included in those numbers...to not recognize that is egomanical), the results are very predictable:

Ego must always defend itself. Ego must always win. Ego wants, wants, wants, and always wants for more, and when it finally gets what it wants, it's never satisfied and still wants for more. Ego does not want to recognize any other ego(s), because it takes the attention away from it.

Ego is VERY predictable, thus people's behaviour is VERY predictable. Ego has the maturity level of a teenager, thus our world, being run by egomaniacs, is essentially being run by a bunch of Jr. High School-- maybe High School, mentality individuals. And if you think about that one for one second, you'd be hard pressed to disagree. However, you are entitled to do so ;-) Am I being pessimistic? Only ego would care what you happen to think, as a defense mechanism (ego must always defend itself). I am simply stating what I see, and I see this pattern in everything. Why? Because this world, our society, our religions, every thinking moment (because non-ego doesn't think, it already "knows") is controlled by ego. Once again, all ego is the same...thus all results will be the same. As Einstein said..."you cannot solve a problem with the same level of consciousness that created the problem." We are using ego to try and solve this mess and ego is the one that has gotten us into it. If we keep up this approach, it will never work!
