the new, clunky DS setup

Am continuing th'post/J-entry I started -- replying to Gustokitty's journal.Her journal on DS' new format

Am predicting things are going downhill for us, for  DS/Loneliness  members.  (Some of the DS forums may continue okay).  Now, we have a ways to go.  I do not think in six months there will be very much change.  But I have been here five years or a lil' more; five years from now?, am not so sure I'll still be checking in.

That's the pessimist's side.  In optimistist thinking, maybe several of us could go off and find a new place on the Internet.

I recall the names of two ppl who were active when I first came here.  One has recently (two months) posted, although only a very few times.  The other was Pinterestfan, and I'm not sure that person is within hearing distance any more.  ??   Those two I respected highly, they caught my attention.

Well, others here may also remember  _strong_  (levelheaded, insightful)  writers.  --Anyway that is the direction in which I am thinking.  Anyone?
