Why has it be so slow lately here?

I'm not gonna yell that f!s is dead or anything, but it's really been slow for the past few and feels like a few regulars have left. :/

Probably just people getting in some end-of-summer vacation or something.

Some of it is probably school starting up for people. Some of it is probably the trolling and subsequent IP logging being on. Some of it is probably a circular thing - it's slower so people post less so it's slower etc. Some of it is probably just the dog days of summer.

But of course the most important reason is that F!S IS DYING!!!!!!!!!!!

Does IP logging really change it that much? I've always figured people who care enough use a VPN and everyone else just posts as usual.

I don't know. Like, it's never bothered me at all, but you do see people complaining about it, and seemingly feeling strongly about it. Which I would assume they wouldn't, if they were using a VPN. Just yesterday there was someone talking about not wanting to post in a thread about kinks because IP logging was on.

IDK. But it does seem like it's an issue for people.

Why would an anon community have problems with something that strips anonymity? I have no idea at all.

Ip logging means the trolls can't same!post their own troll posts, etc.

FS regular who has been lurking here.

I just wanted to get away from the trolls. They make everything tedious to the extreme.

Some reasons:
The secrets have been less about fandom and more about the submitter's own personal issues with a tangential fandom connection to avoid the fail!bar. That is a hard thing to get excited by.

There is no all consuming fandom or fandom wank that everyone can get excited by.

IP logging on.

Secrets being text only rather than having a fandom picture or manip. Again, hard to work up a buzz.

People not feeling the love.

Case being a little trigger happy on the freeze button or delete thread option if we go off topic with sing-a-longs or stuff like that. I'm not talking about deleting the suicide encouragement or the cow pooping guy, but the more harmless stuff and even if an argument does get heated or controversial, that is no reason to kill the thread. Case needs to ease back on that or there is no point even starting a thread or conversation if it is just going to be killed. The IP logging doesn't help here.

Dog ate my laptop.

Secrets, when actually about a fandom and not the submitter, for niche fandoms that by their nature can only have limited appeal (not a bad thing, or a good thing, just a thing).

Some other stuff.
