Alternatives?

I'm just curious if they're healthy.

We know there are some level of helpers. At least one boardie let it slip they they are, or used to be on a paid staff. Is that who is approving stories?

Neither L or M have responded to inquires here or any where else that I know of since early August.

Both Emily and I had short interactions with Laurel in late August. That is the latest anyone has reported. The increased pending problem started somewhere in early September.

The Lit account on X/Twitter made some reposts on September 20.

I don't follow them on social media -- I have sworn off social media, other than AH -- but by reports both bsky and Xitter seems to have dropped off in the second half of September. I take that to mean that things in some way got worse as the month progressed.

That said, today has the most new stories to appear in some time, 60% more than the previous week had averaged. That may be a sign for hope. Let's hope so.

Yes, Laurel responded to me several times regarding my Pay For Play event. Last time was very early September.

And then there's Post 201.

There is still at least one human still in the control room. We have a handful of examples of that.

I had missed LC68's note. That moves the last known contact a few days later (my message from her was 8/29)

Seems like it would be easier to just message you here... if they really just wanted to talk...

That's scary
