Well, I don't like the implication that Lugnet wasn't calm and peaceful BECAUSE
of the Admins. As if we wanted everyone to call us names and be mean to us.
But honestly, things get quiet because people stop caring. I mean, Suz has
announced that unless something happens, Lugnet will be shut off on Oct 1. If
anyone had made that claim two years ago, do you think there would be this
quasi-silent acceptance? People just don't care whether Lugnet lives or dies,
and they have more fun on other forums anyways.
