Too few entries and too few voters. I guess Sher and company got tired of wasting their time. Most of the poetry contests have also had little attention. I've given up on them as well. Ah, this used to be a better place to share ideas...

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
I am still new here and I like this site very much, but I miss more activity. Every day there are new members but where are those who keep these pages going?

Yes, I think that strange too. You deserve some explanation or at least some acknowledgement.

Any news from anywhere/anyone in the meantime?
Sorry for necromancing this thread if everyone was done with it.
As Nik mentioned earlier, the prospect of detailed feedback is one of the factors that motivated me to join this forum as well. I am still a green member, but I am trying to work by the general etiquette of reading and commenting to at least four other members' works before posting any fruit of your own pen (although at present I have written anything I felt comfortable with subjecting members to).
By the way, Nik: congratulations on Happy Endings. I was not aware it had done so well.

And as I pass through the first gate, I know that the better part of my soul will remain behind - forever.
This site is a spaceship adrift, her crew mysteriously absent. She did not answer our hails. When we boarded her, we found only a number of surly forumites locked in a storage room they thought was a story room.
ALL RIGHT! No offense to anybody I don't know but it's nice to hear from someone who's been around.
The problem is that I don't believe this site is moderator anymore. I'm afraid that what will happen is one day it just won't be here because the rent didn't get paid. It's sad, but like somebody above wrote, "things come and go".
But yeah, Nik– the $300 was an incentive for me too! I kind of hate to admit it, but that kept me writing. And then once I submitted something [assuming I ever did] I would be waiting and watching the votes… a couple of times it was a good reason to get out of bed! Now I just sleep all the time and it's all Logos' fault, so nah nah nah!
Actually, any of us could've been groomed for a moderator – I wasn't willing to do the necessary service work required to keep this thing going. Now my blogs and my pictures of my family and my emails – they'll all be gone. There is one guy I've got to know well and the only contact I have with him is through this forum. Oh well. Things come and go.

Ничего нет лучше для исправления, как прежнее с раскаянием вспомнить.
If you believe that,Captain Pike you would do well to get a external contact from your LitNet buddy.
