I really think you're over thinking this Livia. The forum is quiet because BB isn't popular anymore and forums are kind of dying out too in general with other types of social media taking over. People have always came and went from the forum, in the past it wasn't as noticeable because there was always 10 more new members to replace them. But you don't want to hear that I'm sure, it seems to suit your agenda to just blame us for everything these days which is a bit disappointing

That's quite unfair, Niamh. I have no agenda. I feel quite sad that there can't be a discussion like this without being accused of having an agenda or being told, if you don't like the way we do things, you can leave. It does nothing to help the fact that the forum is quieter and we'd like new members to come, but also regulars to stay. And for the record I'm not laying the fact that people have left the forum squarely at the feet of the mods so I don't want to hear "I'm sure you don't want to hear that because you have an agenda...." I have no agenda.

And your reason for people leaving is quite plausible. Except I don't agree that it's as simple as that.

Anyhoo, I've said how I feel.
