It didn't completely stop. There was still an almost constant state of posting right up until OA.com's final day.

Maybe it was becuase the best topics had been done. Maybe (and I know some have argued this before) the in-person gatherings at Bar 9 and elsewhere meant that we took all the humor and good times into the real world instead of leaving it here in cyberspace.

Or <s>maybe</s> most likely it is simply because the site followed the ebb and flow of the show. It was a site created by folks in the Tri-State area <i>for</i> folks in the Tri-State area, at a time when the show was ours and ours alone. When they got syndicated, NYC and parts of Jersey or wherever the signal reached were no longer the only ones "in the know". It's kind of hard sharing something you enjoy with others, and the more people who came along and wanted to be part of the show (and in a way, we all felt like we were part of the show due to the interaction), and by extension the site which was most closely linked to that show, the more the folks who had been here the longest may have resented it.
