First off, being quit 2 plus years is awesome. There is no "only" about that. Great job and I appreciate your work as moderator and contributer in general.
I do have to say that Jillar was one of my favorite people from here, and QSMB, and I am really still mourning her loss. I'm really saddened by that. I am guessing that may play a role in some of the other old-timers here.
I recently re-connected with an old female friend of mine from college who used to smoke like a chimney but now vapes. Trying to get her to join this site.
Yes, I do hope things pick up here but I understand your concern.
