unfortunately, we also drive our own away. the people who we do love, slowly leave. sean, seph, arpi, maynard, ikea, amy, etc. used to be fixtures here, but now have been gone for months. in about two months, a few others will leave, and eventually, it'll be three people posting here
we've tried to replace the lost people, but the transfusions of new blood are rejected every time. open up the board to membership, but don't expect many new people to come, and those that do probably won't stick around long enough to help the board before we drive them away
