To me, it became rather 'cliquey' and, on reflection, the moderation could have been too weak to handle it. New posters may not have felt welcome, and 'lurkers' could have felt dissuaded to take part. It may recover, but is very sick.
Not my call, Fire, but some of the many sections haven't had a post since 2017/2018 etc. and I've noticed some of the 'good guys' appearing on here. Probably 'least said, soonest mended'?
