I see a lot less support

I just logged on and noticed that there is a lot less support and activity going on then there was a few months ago. It reminds me of the parenting support group I am in, where you post a message, then hope someone responds within a few weeks time. I guess everyone has pretty much healed and there aren't any breakups or divorces going on anymore. That is a good state of affairs for our society. It shows that people are finally pulling it all together and working it out in their lives.

It's natural after fights for people to withdraw before approaching again.

groups, couples, politicians

I know what you mean.... I've been trying to do what I can to support on here.

It's aftermath of the drama. I have a feeling it will pass

it is sad that many, including myself have let the support slide whether it was about what is going on in their own life or on this website. But what pisses me off the most is for it to be brushed off as "Well thats what happens" Like... eh, no worries, it's expected.

It shouldn't be, regardless.

I will be the first to say I have gotten more vocal in one way and less vocal in the support area. for me, it is time to get back to support. The other way has been fruitless to many, esp. me, to say the least.

part of the support came with the fun...

and, the fun has died.

I think it has a lot to do with changes that have occurred in DS. I think DS used to be much more... At the same time, I think it was also being abused... and I see why the changes had to occur...

oh well...

but broken, that is what happens when people fight, don't you know that.

Disclaimer: that was meant sarcastically and was directed at Broken's response. Incase anyone else took it wrong.

chi...

I know... There were many strong voices here that drove away newbies... And, they too needed support...

Giddy...

The changes had to occur for a variety of reasons... political (ie. cash), for newbies, for sanity... and so on... But, it was also sad... This was a support group where some irreverent fun, heated discussions, and so on really did help a lot of people... But, at the same time, it drove away a lot of fragile people who really needed help... It's a mixed thing... I think the balance tipped from one side to the other... (as is often the case)
