I'd compare it more to something like an old band. We had some great fun back in the day when times were cool and posts were so quick we ended up making a Skype chat just to hold them all, but now real life is threatening to encroach on us and people ave to go and the rest of use keep carrying on and getting smaller and smaller because we miss the old days and even now all we can really do is draw in some new blood to spit out pale and twisted copies of what went before.
