it's not pinin'! it's passed on! this forum is no more! it has ceased to be! it's expired and gone to meet its maker! it's a stiff! bereft of life, it rests in peace! it's pushing up the daisies! its metabolic processes are now 'istory! it's off the twig! it's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-FORUM!!

Oh, that. It's pretty much a Viconian cycle of sorts. But I wouldn't hold the funeral until the patient expires. Rather than meta-posts about the dearth of posts, post a post about words.

tsu I have noted much the same in Q&A. Maybe the site just isn't as celebrated (notorious?) as once was

Estivalnating, travelling, on the go, respecting the guest status, being social, renewing the American cultural shock, anti laptop movement. Folks are outdoors. Hope to see you all mid September. Put some salsa in it. Top it off with fajita's. Have a nice Californian glas of red and most of all. KEEP IT ALIVE!
