Mostly because I feel like it's difficult to get a conversation started in alt_fen, so now that we have one it seems easier to continue it than to try to start something new. A lot of posts lately are getting only one or two comments, and I don't really know how to turn that into a discussion.
Have you noticed that? I don't really know what to do about it. Maybe instead of having posts about a specific topic, have a weekly post like DISCUSS HERE and see if that works better to get people talking? I do get the impression that people want to talk, but that somehow nobody really knows how to get it started.
