> Babble has been running on fumes for YEARS, yet a persistent few, including Bob of course, continue to fan the dying flames, hoping against hope that it'll somehow do a "Phoenix" and rise from the ashes.
People seem to have this idea that the way things were... Around 2006... When there was the greatest number of posters / posts... That that is the ideal, somehow. The glory days.
People seem to have this idea that Bob's vision was to provide the biggest site, or something.
Was that the idea?
Was that the best time for Babble?
Around that time... I remember a lot of people reminiscing for 'the way things used to be'. Back when there was just one board, even. All the way back there...
Why think that things are worse now than they have ever been?
Things are different now, for sure, but why worse?
> Put the damn thing out of its misery already.
I find the way things are now to be helpful to me. If it wasn't... I wouldn't be here. Would you rather Bob shut it down so that form of help wasn't available to me anymore?
Really?
You can't do much (if anything) about others. You can only mind yourself, really. If you want Babble to be something different...
Well... What can you DO to contribute to that?
Up to you, really.
