What ever happened to the way it USED to be!
The new people are ruining it!
I miss the old days!
Waaaaah!

COME ON, people--this is a classic forum lament, and it's B.S. You CAN'T control the ebb and flow of people. I would have thought LJ and Bruce to be way too forum-savvy to fall for this trap. It's a sucker punch.
As a relative noob, let me tell you, it's like being invited to the party, and then shoved into a locked bathroom with all the uncool people. Tough room. Yeah, I may not be thick skinned, prickly, edgie, or funny, but neither am I a fabricated personality with fake opinions. So what?
The Cellar is unique in my experience (although I'm sure not unique-unique) in that it does not have a primary subject matter. That leaves people free to talk about what they want. It's a party, not a club meeting. Instead of whining about it, put up the threads YOU want to talk about, and let other people do the same.
and remember, I give free blow jobs, so try not to hurt me.
