Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
Hi, personal anecdote isn't statistics, and I'm not going to pretend that I ever was a big D&D poster, but I definitely read it a lot less too nowadays. I don't think it has anything to do with moderation, because I used to post a bit on C-SPAM too. In general I've just sort of become much less interested in politics and current events in my daily life, and have stopped participating in threads online, here and elsewhere, as well as consuming much less news.

I speculate that, if the "average" lurker/seldomposter is similar to me, that might be another explanation for the steady decline in participation in D&D over time. A lot of us just simply aren't interested anymore, or are actively turning off that side in order to preserve our mental health and well-being.
