I've noticed it too. I slowed down some because I was spending too much of my time on line, but surely that's not the reason so many other people have stopped contributing.
I see the same thing. It appears some people have gotten too sensitive to take a joke and others are afraid to post for fear of offending.
I think there's some of that, but a lot of people seem to have left the site altogether, and I don't think it's for those reasons.
@glennlab @Tomfoolery33 I would agree. Sure, some folks are hesitant to post, but...
Even I haven't posted as much as I used to and it's because I can't take a joke.
The format has become too cumbersome and not very predictable or reliable.
It's very frustrating. This site was once a haven away from the crap of the every-day-world, but it's turning into something else... something that I don't think I'm going to stay for.
