| Nov 22, 2019 at 10:46 | comment | added | Troyen | @Richard I don't think it was the loss of the mods. It lost a lot of the high-rep active answerers and users, which resulted in fewer votes and answers. Sorting by activity on the site users page reveals only a few of the major active users remain. Comparing reputation league for August vs October shows a drop of about 56% for the number of users gaining 25+ rep in a month. That doesn't appear to include deleted users either, so likely much higher. | |
| Nov 19, 2019 at 14:46 | comment | added | April Salutes Monica C. | Well, W.SE was a lifeline for me this spring (new dayjob, very isolating), and I was happy to participate in its growth and graduation (even if it was a consolation graduation with other older sights), and that's why I follow this chaos -- in hopes that it may return. I mean this is NANOWRIMO month -- the fact that Writing is this empty is absurd! | |
| Nov 19, 2019 at 14:30 | comment | added | F1Krazy | @April--Un-SlanderMonica-- Our 10 most recently-asked questions span a 4-day period, for an average of 2 1/2 Q/day... and half of them (including the four most recent ones) are off-topic. | |
| Nov 19, 2019 at 14:25 | comment | added | April Salutes Monica C. | Over the spring & summer, with the help of challenges, Writing.SE finally got to consistently over 10Q/day. We dropped back to our normal 7-9 after the question-focused challenges, but I'm sure now we're far lower. | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 13:56 | comment | added | Lamak | @Richard "it loses a few moderators", way to downplay the issue. It lost all of their mods, plus many high rep users. That, to a site that was just graduated from meta is lethal | |
| Nov 18, 2019 at 12:50 | comment | added | Richard | If a site collapses because it loses a few moderators, it was already on life support and dying. | |
| Nov 17, 2019 at 23:49 | comment | added | Frédéric Hamidi | So Writing, which was focused on the meaning of words and other venues of expression, was the first site to fall? Doesn't surprise me to be honest. | |
| Nov 17, 2019 at 16:36 | comment | added | April Salutes Monica C. | I spend brainpower that was previously for Writing.SE here on MSE instead. (answering, reviewing, supporting challenges) | |
| Nov 17, 2019 at 15:47 | comment | added | user621673 | We've definitely been crippled. Here's some (depressing) data: meta.stackexchange.com/a/336882/621673 | |
| Nov 17, 2019 at 12:12 | comment | added | I am not the way you speak | I never felt that Writing.SE was a healthy community. | |
| Nov 17, 2019 at 10:20 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | And only months after Writing.SE had graduated from Beta. Do you remember that announcement and how long it stayed up? It's so sad. | |
