Looks like I’m late to this one, but if anyone cares for my two-cents: I was drawn to this site a few months ago b/c I enjoy a good discussion, and rapid-fire wit, and wasn’t getting that on FB despite trying. So I was on here all the time at first. Now I notice in the last week or two I’m less interested. I think it could be because I’ve seen a lot of the same questions, so it takes longer to find an interesting, unique one. A lot of it is just seeing waaay too many questions that are so dumb, simple, or boring that I don’t care to respond or see what anyone else said (unless the question is dumb enough). Another part of it was that once my urge to have a bunch of in-depth discussions was somewhat satisfied (politics, religion, science, etc,,,) I felt less inclined to retype my similar views repeatedly. Thus, while I still enjoy these discussions, I don’t wish to have them as often. Maybe I just get sick of typing in front of a computer too, since the weather is awesome now.
But there’s still good stuff here for me. Today I just looked to see what some folks in my fluther keyed in on, and found those discussions/topics cool (like this one). So to sum up, I’d guess the spark is going to come from influxes of new users, or older users finding something new and interesting to them.
