> it's just that the submissions got stale over time and the community smaller

In my experience, the people in that community want to keep it small, and private. They don't want folks not like them, around.

A good way to ensure that happens, is treat anyone that raises issues about the way they are treated, like crap.

We won't stick around for abuse. The people that are gaming the system, will endure it as "cost of doing business," but the folks that want to get something from the community, won't stick around.

I hardly ever ask any questions, anymore, and have absolutely no interest in visiting, just to answer them.

At one time, I was quite enthusiastic about SO, but no more. The shine wore off that knob, long ago.

They got the community they wanted.
