I think there's a couple of other things, too:
One thing, we started having a lot more posts as we went on (we were at 6,000 posts in March of Y5, when I did a conference presentation on managing data with free tools, and we ended at 11,000 and change, so almost half the total in the last 2 years.)
And, in my particular case, I had only the one character until Y5, and after that they were so clearly in different places in the game having different conversations it wasn't hard to keep track of.
One of the things in my draft folder for the wiki is an example of indexing. I am using a post from Barty, in honour of him winning the award for 'most tabs in the wiki I reliably had to open proportionate to words in the post'. (Lucius and Alice also reliably made me open a lot of tabs, but they had much longer posts.)

oh, ha, that "chance" up there should read "change" - specifically a decline.
But yes.
I was telling a friend about the game yesterday (we went to lunch and she let me babble) and she asked how many days we didn't post - which as you know, I tracked, but I haven't compiled the total for all-years, yet. That's on my to-do list in the next week or so, all the stats runs on the posting data.
Greater number of posts is definitely a factor; also a factor was a fragmenting of plot responsibility. As character groups branched, they took on aspects that didn't involve my characters as much. As a result, there were threads that I admittedly paid less attention to, other than a quick read just to make sure I didn't accidentally screw with continuity.

I loved working flying and quidditch into everything that Cedric wrote as his go to metaphor.

When I first saw that line, I was promptly earwormed with The Mr. T Experience's Sackcloth and Ashes. (YouTube, punky pop, volume warning.) Ever since, I've sung it as Dungbombs and Ashes. ;)
Also in the "was rereading while looking for something else", Hydra's "Everyone on the Lord Protector's Council can do this." (Especially contrasted with her public comment.)
It was right at the tail end of the demonstration duel between Tosha and Raz in Y5, and I thought it was just this beautiful stark reminder of what they'd be up against.

"I mean what a nice day it is. In the hospital.
I've been here the whole time."
I've been here the whole time."
It's Harry, from year three, trying to cover up the time turning. An actual LOL, and one I just read, because on an unrelated note, I've been waiting since about 2010 to read *any* of Alternity (a friend recommended it back then, but I have a disposition incapable of handling any sort of work-in-progress). I've been burning through it (Barty Crouch just died) and loving it, so thank you all!!
