The decline in posting began when he sold the site. Before then, the site was a fan-based creation, and people could expect that. However, it has since turned into a cash crop, and expectations are wildly different. Though it has no direct effect on posting, what the sale of the site did was that it caused a whole bunch of problems to start floating in. Okay, so he didn't have the time or the money to support the place anymore, but not hanging onto this place caused more problems than not.

Neglect or mistreatment by the new owners? Check.
Staffers whose work was treated as though they were mandated as opposed to friendly contributions? Check.
A radical shift in expectations? Check.

I'm not trying to place blame on the man; how could one be expected to pay for something with nothing besides Monopoly money and to want to move on? Cid is a decent person, but the actual action of selling the site is what doomed us. It's put us in a downward spiral, and it is not looking bright at the bottom.
