I’d like to know the answer as well…
For me, I like to watch the discussions mostly, it takes me FOREVER to type anything out.

I mean there were a ton of people debating everything under the sun (especially standards and eschatology). They all seem to have disappeared. I guess they just got tired? And newer apostolics don't have the time or inclination?
It just seems weird to me. I think brother Benincasa may be on to something when he mentions "the algorithm". Makes me think of the "holonet" theory, aka "dead internet theory", the idea that everybody who goes online is actually in an artificially controlled internet bubble that they are led to believe is "the whole big internet", but it's really just a containment suite for them. Everybody is in their own bubble, managed by some super computer server farm run by the DOD or the NSA or whoever.
Pretty much AOL, in fact.
