There are (were) like 10 to 15 power posters I could name off the top of my head that, while not the only ones to do so, were a huge piece of what kept this place hopping, but who are all just gone now. Some from bans, like you said was the case with Nakoichi, but also Z-poster (somewhat ironically because the two of them always wanted the other banned if i remember right), many others left due to the struggle sessions like PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULT, Egon/REgon, (this part of the list I think is longer but I’m not sure about some of them), and some just seemed to up and vanish like Frank. (I miss that guy).
With some it’s hard to know because frequent name changes. But it’s still clear that many of the people who were the biggest posters just aren’t here anymore and we dont seem to be getting new high frequency posters to fill the very real void they left.
Shoutout to the power posters who have stuck around though!
don’t know how they do it.
feels like I’m on here all day yet all I can manage is a handful of comments/day
missing Frank gang represent
considering how many relatively new accounts were involved with the recent meta discussions, i do think there are a lot of “power users*” who are still around under new usernames, but who maybe just don’t see posting as being as central to their lives anymore, and/or who think the site’s still worth engaging but don’t feel as comfortable/welcome as they used to (wouldn’t know anything about that though i just joined three months ago
)
but yeah i do think site culture issues have brought down activity quite a bit, sadly. still better than the vast majority of the rest of the internet, but yeah.
*i’d add that i prefer the term, idk, “active members of the community” or something to power user/poster since the latter feeds into the deeply weird microceleb personality cult stuff that’s fueled a lot of the cliquishness here & the issues with giving passes to repeated bad actors.
