The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.

Speaking from experience, a lot of these people left probably because the board stopped offering them anything they needed or once got from the time spent here. At some point you look at the discourse here and decide it's not a club you want to be a member of anymore.

No, just in general. Maybe it's an age/demographics thing. For me personally, the whole tone of the place (along with the internet at large) changed at some point...I couldn't tell what was schtick and what was genuine. In the early days of PJ forums and this board, it felt like you were genuinely here connecting with people around the band first and foremost, and the rest of the place was about getting to know people better beyond that common interest. People didn't have their guard up...you felt like you were really getting to know the actual person, so much so that you'd be down to meet up at shows or what have you.
People's lives also change, you get married, have kids, a job, new hobbies, bands you like. Posting on RM doesn't feel as necessary or important as it once did. My two cents.

Glad to hear it. That's on OG right there, one of the younger OGs like you Mickey, if I remember correctly.
Yeah OG Teen Crew (though I think technically that was RM2). If I remember correctly I was a freshman in high school when I joined and I think Nate was a junior. LV is either a year younger or older than me, he was around. Also dyingonahilltop (who is doing well, has a kid).
