Four stages of forums

[Miriel]

"Almost like a gold rush to prove who was here first and how it was better in the old days."

I have never seen a more accurate description of this place.

Considering how many olbies are disappearing and complaining that they're not interested here any more, yes.

I disagree.

It used to be where the oldies just post and complain about how things used to be, but now the people who aren't interested in EoFF just sorta go away (which is better, I think). There's a difference between an increased turn around in members (oldies going out, newbies coming in) and complete stagnation which "Maximum Security" stage seems to suggest with new members being repelled and old members just sitting around and being grumpy.
