I have heard over and over again from people who find the board to be getting a less supportive place that their response is to post less frequently or to leave altogether.
But doesn't that create a vicious circle? The supportive posters leave because the board is less civil. The board becomes less civil because the supportive posters leave. Sheer numbers allow the tone of the board to shift.
Might the answer be for the posters who are put off by the lack of civility to come back in droves?
Just a thought.
