About

Over the years, I have repeatedly had the experience that I join some forum and it grows dramatically while I am there. After I leave, it collapses in upon itself and becomes a shadow of its former self.

It felt to me like they grew dramatically because of me and they collapsed dramatically because I left. I considered calling this blog:

Confessions of a Forum Killer

Someone wiser than me suggested the current name and I went with that. But it never really thrived and I took it offline for a long time, before deciding to write more generally about social observations instead of specifically about social dynamics on internet forums.
