If anything this place is a lot more lively than it ever was (I don't have the stats to back that up, but it feels busier lately). To give him credit for the downturn in posts is missing the obvious. If anything, it'll be the likes of Twitter and Facebook, both of which have caused a decline in popularity of most web forums, rather than him.
Every thread he ever posted in turned to shit.
Every time I read one of his posts, and the inevitable barrage of shit from him and everyone else that followed it, I lost the will to bother reading the rest of the thread and often moved on to the next one without reading the rest of the posts, whether they were from him or not.
And more times than I dare to admit I marked as read the entire forum and went and looked at something else instead.
It has been a lot busier in the last few weeks, or month or so. This is probably down to a few new members who are posting more, which no doubt encourages replies from the rest of us!
