We have reached the point where we post threads about people posting on MOL. Have we reached the end of the life cycle of MOL?

If that were the case we reached the end years ago with Nohero's 12-step program.

Everything is constantly in a state of becoming. The present and future shape of MOL are dependent upon the input of the administrators and the posters.

In the few years I have been posting on MOL, I have noticed that some cyclical patterns seem to emerge but there has also been the occassional quantum leap.

Eventually, MOL will become the online forum that's so crowded that no one ever comes here. That's what happened to netnews.

Actually this thread is the beginning of the end. A thread about threads about people posting on MOL.

It's way too meta...

Hey, johnny, you started that thread about me, so what are you complaining about?

I've just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit. It's going to go 100% failure in 72 hours.
There is.

not for nothing, but the discussion we had a couple of months ago to stop calling people "worthless" and "idiots", etc. I believe has had a profound positive effect.
Personally, my participation is way up since there's more "listening" going on.

I agree... lately it seems we have a kinder, friendlier participation. I like it!

BTW, Libby and I enjoyed the conversation and your company last night at O'Reilly's...
