This statement has been made many times over the past several years, yet we are still here. Can we put this to rest now?
There is a significant difference between decreased activity and site death. The ToO is not and probably will never be dying. It is currently, has been in the past, and will be again, in a period of lessened activity compared to normal levels. Is it a sign the end is coming or there is some other major problem? No it isn’t. It’s called being a message board. Activity cycles; it’s natural.

On those notes, has anyone else noticed that this topic seems to get rehashed at about the same time every year?

I hadn’t, but if that’s true then it makes the discussion all the more ridiculous because people should know by now this is a slow period.

We need to determine an actual date then, not just 'sometime around the end of summer'.

How about September 1st, since that was the date this thread was originally posted?
It's a nice, easy date to remember. :mrgreen:

That's not so bad. I just waited patiently for 5 months for bookworm to respond to a post I made on the Backstreet.

Your post was made after a full year had passed since the last one, so I was no longer checking the thread on a regular basis.

I know. It was impressive that you saw it at all. My point was just the waiting patiently part, not the specific example.

I see that the ToO is also a great place. I wish some ToO people would experiment the SS.
