    We are going through a slow time.  It happens.

    Real life is busy this time of year.

      Membership numbers, member participation, rate of content per day, rate of content per hour have all been on a steep and steady decline for several months, if not at least the past two years. Added to that is the almost non-existent cadre of worldwide members; nowadays it’s mainly US participants and few enough people from other countries that they can approximately be tallied on two hands and named one by one. The time of year has not been the deciding factor nor the only factor that explains those decreases. While the holiday season does mean that many people are spending more time at home than in work-a-day or school attendance, and therefore theoretically more time with family as opposed to more time on this website, several other websites and other internet-related forums are currently seeing sharp increases in hourly and daily activity, even in view of holidays.

    I just went through my list of active muggers.  It is only down by 2 people who I have not seen post recently. 
    Of course Rosie's Corner is not active now which is where a lot of our activity used to be. 
    I know personally I am busy this time of the year both with business and holidays.  I figure I am not the only one.  
    As for other sites...I do not keep up with them.

    How many active muggers are on your list?  I took a look at my "friends" list and there are hardly any of them on here now.

    EDIT:  Just checked my friends list:  33 friends listed; 10 active or somewhat active. This post was edited by SpunkySenior at December 11, 2021 6:34 PM MST

    Well, I don't see that many active members at all, so perhaps they're posting in another part of the site.

    I agree.  There has been a sharp decline in participation here.  At any given time of day/night, if there are more than five or six people here, I am surprised.

      Not only that, several hours often go by without one new question or answer to questions or comments. That was rare years ago when every few moments there was input of some kind from someone somewhere.

    True.  The same four people who were on hours ago when I logged in are the same four that are on there now.

    Could it be related to the site's tendency to kick people out?

    What happened to Sharona and Tom Jackson, just to name two?

      The disappearance of Sharonna (correct spelling, cough, cough) is a true mystery; she always came back feisty and fighting every time she got kicked off, kicked out, banned, placed in the penalty box, etc. This last time, however, nothing!

      I know nothing about the disappearance of Tom Jackson.

    Her actual name is Sharon and she still has an account.

      You’re correct, her actual and legal name is Sharon Harris, but the way she spells her screen name has always been Sharonna, not Sharona, as Stu spelled it. 

      Her account is still active, just as active as dozens of other accounts dating back to 2015 and 2016. She has not participated nor even logged on for over a year now.

    I am going to try to contact her and see how she is doing. My aunt lives near her.

    If you contact her and you're comfortable doing so, tell her I miss her very much and always wish her the best! :)

    I asked one this evening.

    Questions don't always come easily to me.
