       (OT) Fewer people 
       By: agate Date: September 20, 2025, 11:40 am

       I am often the only person there at many places where I've been
       checking in on the Internet, sometimes for decades.  As we get
       older, people start disappearing from our lives, but I would
       have expected Internet message boards to continue.
       They often haven't. I've watched several of them close down
       completely. Others are places where there are almost no people
       any more. People have moved on to more exciting activities
       online.
       I haven't moved with them.  Posting photos of a meal I'm eating
       somewhere goes only so far as something novel and diverting.  I
       can't find much amusement in tinkering with photos so as to put
       costumes on cats and dogs either.
       I'm here. Even if nobody else visits, I find this place has
       information I find useful.
       I'm reminded of this Emily Dickinson poem:
