All those people talking in here at that time were, for the most part, mods. They were running the place into the ground, and when they couldn't get their way, they threw a hissy fit and left en masse. It was no great loss, but it does mean less activity in the forums, not to mention a big mess that'll take an age to clean up properly. We can't make people join the forums and contribute. Every day people do join the forums, but the majority that do join rarely contribute much, if at all. But as I said, we can't force them to contribute. Hopefully more people will though in time.
