It must still exist in the present, as we are both posting to it right now :-) If it were only past, I suppose it wouldn't exist. I don't think that is going to happen. Many things in life can change without completely disappearing.
I just think it's anxiety-producing, sometimes, for things, people, places, to not "feel" like they used to feel. It is for me, anyway. But I believe those feelings can be tolerated and won't last forever. Change is hard, but does not necessarily destroy. Reshaping sure does hurt sometimes, and it is at the least, uncomfortable! That's kinda (partially) how I see Babble.
Babble consists of US. We hope it always consists of new people, too. That slows sometimes, and yes, it appears slow now, as well as overall posting.
As long as there are people with mental health concerns who want to find and speak to one another (and sadly, there will be always, as far as I can imagine) Babble can exist. I say, be patient, have faith, keep posting. It's all you/we can do, really.
