Mostly, my sense is that they found other things to focus their time on, which is some combination of boredom with Stacker News and interest in other stuff.

Ideally, they’d want to pursue those new things and share them with us, so the overarching solution is to make SN a more rewarding place to hang out.

There were also the two (now possibly three) big rage quit episodes: MSM, CCs, and Spark.

life certainly finds a way to get in the way

do you remember any specific nyms that ragequit over MSM or CCs though?

reply

Well, @supertestnet was probably the biggest CC blowup.

Ragequit might be a bit strong for other, but I do recall many people souring on SN and becoming less active during those events. Some have come back, if only infrequently.

Was nemo still active as late as MSM?

If I remember right, he was still zapping around from time to time, then slowly became a full anon.

reply

Yes, I remember the period of mysterious paranemo events.

I remember those days when each of us kinda got an unique zap amount, it's like a way to say hello without saying hello when zapping, so funny.

it's still like this, no?

when I see I got 102 sats I know @Scoresby has been around

kinda, but that time you got a really random and funny number like 777 or 7777. 👀
