I saw the fade-away start happening a few years ago when the whole "no super-explicit pictures" policy came down. Later, talking to others, I realized that I had misunderstood Lil's carefully worded directive on the subject regarding posts taken down if there were complaints, and maybe others did, too. I think that started a chill on activity here, because I noticed posts were way down, and old threads were coming back up, in (I can only assume) an effort for those who WERE here looking for something new and different.
It's always been a site with thousands of lurkers, as far as I can tell, and a handful of regular posters. I have been both in my 7 years here, depending on what was going on in my life. I think Oldfart is right--life takes people away, sometimes, but I don't think Pixies is in danger. Every week, it seems, someone has a "homecoming"...it's a place people may leave, but many come back to when life allows. I think we're okay.
