He/she was always one of my absolute favorites.

Yeah, signed.

And JackRiddler - in his informative, non-argumentative moods. Same with chlamor. Also Joe Hillshoist.

The place is quiet hey. Maybe semper's right about the age thing - the young'uns are soaking this stuff up on YouTube. Another thing is that after a while most posters lose interest, at least cyclically. You have a big picture that's good enough for you, then you don't need to keep filling it out with granular detail. And it becomes a bit depressing to do that.

A lot of the woo has been missing too. Pity.

I know, right? I go looking for it, but I'm only willing to bring the best here and I'm not finding it. I have theories about why that is. More like wild conjecture. I've thought of starting threads along the lines of, "Where's the woo?".

Usually the grand web coalesces into meaningful coincidences when I'm in a state of transition and flux and/or there are critical nexuses of forces and circumstances around me. That's when the woo pierces the veil and bleeds through. But it can speak in the smallest bits of matter and the most delicate of forces. It's way of speaking takes no account of our biases in consensus meat space. And that sort of thing doesn't always translate well unless my muse insists and she rarely does anymore. We've lost contact.

maybe the forum was actually populated by a small group of people who didnt have jobs or families, or had jobs where they could waste hours researching and posting
and now they do have jobs, and kids

ahhhh
the question is why, who, why, what, why, when, why and why again?

Richard Charnin (Truth Is All) was just on Thom Hartman talking about voter fraud

Hey Richard come back and say hi
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

I would always be kind of excited to see a post by him. Such beautiful writing, you could really sink your teeth into it. Same with The Consul.

They're mods now. That's how it works.

Sorry Wombat, couldn't resist.

I remember when Barracuda was seen as a disruptive and truculent troll as well. Those were the days.
