I think part of the problem is people are simply not posting fun stuff any more

There used to be a constant stream of silly surveys and random subjects. Looking at the board it looks like there is too much politics but the reality is there is just to little other stuff. I know you and some others have tried on occasion to bring that back but I fear the community has shrunk to the point where it will be very hard to sustain it.
That is why I was happy to see chat being considered again. I never really spent anytime there which is part of the reason I don't know most people's real names but I think it did help to build a stronger community. There was some squabbling but it did let people get to know each more than they can get from little post about a limited number of subjects.

Most of the personal sharing you describe I've shifted over to my Facebook activity.

It's not that I don't still love the Illuminati BBS, a man just needs a little variety sometimes.

What's odd is that I've become happier and more content in recent years

My view on politics has changed quite a bit in the past few years

Mine hasn't, really, but my opinion of repeating my positions endlessly has.

I stopped trying to be funny when I realized I wasn't, and that I can't take a joke.

Chat was definitely better than the MB for building personal relationships.

Some of the conversations I have on FB are like chat with really bad lag. *NM*

It doesn't help that you don't tend to post things that make you likeable.

I always took those posts as attempts to include people.

That's a very positive outlook, which perhaps is shared by others *NM*

10-11 years ago, I might have thought I was a major part of this site. Uncertain of that now,
