I find myself missing early SW

It was so busy and chaotic and fun. Not being able to reply to comments wasn't great, but most of the people were which made up for the unfinished state of the site itself. It was then like living in a city condensed into a neighbourhood, while now it barely feels like a city block's worth of people sometimes. I described it then as like being in a once glorious city which had been mostly abandoned, and nowadays feels like that compared to early SW.

Sorry, I'm not sure why anyone would care about this maudlin rambling. Hopefully it'll make sense to someone. I feel like an old man recounting lost glory days to his grandchildren.

When were the golden years?

And my own thoughts here:I think SW is good at a middle ground between now and super popular. Too many people here and I imagine it would become confusing.

@caPnAhab for me it was 2016-17, maybe 2018.

I don't know about confusing, but the feed being how it is wouldn't help either

@KiwiDan dang I guess I missed it. Well, my first year here was pretty good compared to now 2021-22

@caPnAhab it's been a slow decline since most of the original members drifted away

I hear you. I also agree. I dip in and out now. My life's changed but I also feel like the anticipation and excitement wore off.
Due to varying negatives that affected the feed.
