I remember seeing many people leave over disagreements with moderation. It was sad.
I don't even think that Bob has the power to revive this place. The whole internet has changed. It doesn't feel as safe to me anymore, even with pseudonyms, just because so many more people are on the internet, and there have been so many instances of organized harassment instigated on message boards.
As much as I enjoyed reading the old posts, I sort of cringe at how personal we got, and how long the stuff has been public, and how we don't have the ability to edit or delete our posts. So perhaps it is for the best? I was just enjoying some nostalgia over how things were in the heyday, and how much more comfortable I felt with the format here (pseudonyms, ad-free text-only site, boards organized by interest group) as opposed to social media today.
But I would still enjoy doing some catch-up with the old-timers :-)
