What happened 2 years ago that generated topics...

The main member base was significantly more active.
For example, I used to read every single thread and new post. I wasn't the only one that did that either, and people were in general significantly more engaged in conversation. These days I don't really give a fuck.

But basically the forum was constantly active since more people were actively engaging and everything even had more of a "community" feeling to it.

Also yeah things like skype and discord happened.

Welp. Fuck Discord and Skype then.

to give an example right here, icy just posted a thread on the white house ethics committee however the amount of discussion its going to generate has already been hit with a bat because its already been discussed in the discord groups

Do all the new members just jump onto Skype and Discord? You'd think they would frequent the forums regularly before venturing to the other forms of communication.
