In communication with a friend recently, they remarked that they're taking a bit of a hiatus from posting as they feel there's more animosity among parties here, of late.
Elsewhere, I read that some people find the chatroom less appealing as certain key players there seem to have left for various reasons (I don't know the veracity of the statement, as I've only recently begun to engage the chatroom in earnest, but maybe there's something to it).
I wonder -- and I suppose this inquiry goes out most especially to those who've been around here a bit, and seen the cycles of community attitude over the years -- Does the Forum turn colder with the seasons at all (perhaps reflecting the effect winter months have on mood in some), or are these entirely random fluctuations?
Love to hear your thoughts.
