And someday, together.. We'll shine.

it slowly dies

no one is willing to pay $10 entry fee for an internet forum in 2023 when there's so many free online communities available everywhere

that's been the case for 25 years. it's always been the unique community and frankly, the $10 making it prohibitive for people to create accounts that will just get banned, leading to growth and popularity of SA.

its population decline right now is pretty tightly correlated to "how would folks come here". SA doesn't have cultural influence it gained in the mid-2000s anymore but it also lacks any content generation that LED to folks joining in the mid-early-2000s, as well as the early 2010s when the curated and moderated LP's were popping off.

i dont really see that reversing anymore though the new leadership made it feel like it could for a bit, fwiw
