Less than 1000 posts in a month - why now?

Hagrid: "From your own experience, was any of the suprising or
shocking  interviews turn you off JKR's writing? If so, seems like the
"loyal  fan base" she has enjoyed will not hurry out for her future
works."

Potioncat: "It's been very difficult to get discussions going. Even
the chapter discussions--for the most part---haven't generated a lot
of print. There have been a few fairly strong threads, but just a few."

======================

Add in no more predictions, no more Draco love, no more shipping and
no more Theory Bay and it seems natural to me there's going to be less
posts. With every fan wanting her own world, nobody got everything
they wanted (no way they could have). There are so many stories left
to tell, though - we could spend a lot of time discussing those and
how the wizard world works, but there seems little interest in it. 

I don't post much any more because my posts rarely get replies. I'm
sure some others feel the same. It's nobody's fault. 

The nature of discussion here has changed a lot over the years. I have
a perspective here because I'm a charter member - I was here when this
was a Yahoo Club, then an e-group, as it was called, before Yahoo!
bought out e-groups and made them Yahoo! Groups. There was a sense of
discovery that may be impossible to recapture.
