My take, at the risk of sounding like a Gloomy Gus, is that people are moving on. This thing has grabbed hold of some of us for well over a year now. Maybe it's time.
Hope you're feeling better, Amanda--and that I haven't just made you feel worse!
Hey Jeff! Yes, I'm feeling better thanks! I'm back posting, so I'm definitely improving. I missed
two days of work though... so it was bad. I really don't like calling in sick.
And no, you didn't make me feel gloomy. I don't think people are really moving on permanently. I think the slow day might have been a coincidence or a slow-patch might just be a phase. It makes sense that sometimes people might need a break from the computer. My feeling is that this is about a lot more than BBM at this point. I think for many people, BetterMost has taken on a significance of it's own as a community at this point. There are so many friendships here that it's hard to think of people turning their backs on that. We also seem to continually attract some active and interested newbies too. So, that's a great thing as well.
