I can't discuss admin's discussions and actions but I feel I must comment on this to defend those who were other admins at the time. I never got the feeling they "liked the fact DA was flamethrowing at the OP's on the board".

So, maybe the better question is why DA was allowed to do what he DO.

Another question (perhaps not better) is where did DA find the time to post all that? Thousands upon thousands of posts.

Another reason for forum's dying down is facebook. Everyone is on facebook
Yea, multiple causes. Facebook, mass conservative exodus. Many of the more liberal posters no longer post here.

As stated, facebook does have forums.

I'll correct myself. Facebook has groups. They (can) function as forums.

You are correct that is a better question. However one that will not be discussed here as it is against the rules to question admin or for admins to discuss their private conversations about the forum.

That means this line of conversation needs to end here.
