I think all that beer spam is chasing people away. I used my scientific mind to find out if this post made the top 10 most commented on without the spam, and it did.

So now, not only am I saying it seems quiet, I have actual proof. Halloween and beer spam. The folks using bidbots never commented here anyway so their departure isn't the issue. Maybe it's harvest season and everyone is busy in the field, doing the canning, digging the potatoes, sacking and a stacking the potatoes. I don't know what I'm talking about.
