offended? 
 
 

 
I've waited my whole life for this...
 
At long last, some recognition from my most devoted fan.
 
I'm so dumbstruck by his kindness, I've even framed his token of esteem for posterity.
 
Sorry.... I'm welling up here. The emotion of it is all getting a bit too much for me.
 
 

 
 
What a guy.

offended? 
 
 

I'm occasionally off handed.
 
Does that make me a bad person?

Some of the offended are actually bell ended.

It only took you over 26,500 posts, but actually it was the quote in your signature, so really some anonymous person responsible for the quote got the helpful click.

For whatever it's worth, one of the other forums I go to is having a very similar discussion to some we've had here.  Too much bashing and not enough song participation so it's not an isolated issue.  Probably it's just everyone going through a cycle and then we'll be back to normal (whatever the heck that is!).

I don't think so.
 
I am admin of a Christian songwriter's forum.  the traffic on this forum has dwindled over the last several years and is pretty low now.  new registrations are at an all time low.
 
2007 was the highest number of users on the forum at the same time (829).  lately the high number of simultaneous users is less than 20.  most of the time less than 10.
 
I blame it on other social media like Facebook.  that's why I don't think forums like these will cycle back up.  I've seen a lot of our members from that other forum move from it to facebook - mostly since 2007 and later timeframe...

For the pooch who shares no BECAN, does it make you wonder why?

Honestly, I think Face Book is dying some as well.  I think CSN would have a chance of coming back again to some descent numbers, but it needs an Extreme Make Over.  It looks older than sin, design-wise.  A younger, more modern audience is desperately needed.
