you had ten to hundreds of posts a day. *That level was
back about 10+ years ago, when LC suddenly became

things, a lot of people thought it was the miracle diet where
you could drop all the weight they put on over 20 years in
a month and then go back to their old ways again. *When
it wasn't quite that easy, many lost interest and just went
back to getting fatter.

Another factor here is that the folks that do still check in
