At this moment, there are about 850 of us here in the forum, but only three members are logged in.

I think those data points speak to where the decline really is: active members logging in and posting. I doubt "ecomodding" is dying so much as active posting on this forum is declining.

Bringing the personal attacks down might help, but lots more is needed: new members with good ideas and reasonable personalities, rethinking some of the content, refresh the appearance. ?? dunno...
Yes it was 2012 or 2013. You know when the cheap gasoline had been stuck at $3.50 a galon for a few years with no end in sight.

Just think, what posts, or kinds of posts were hot at that moment in time?
