I like Dribble, FD and Parker's comments, I think they're very spot-on. Lit changes as the groups of people on the boards turn-over, we change too.
Many times I've heard people compare Lit to high school on the threads. Usually they're talking about drama or cliques or personalities. It's usually done in a joking manner but there is some truth to it in this respect. Litsters come into the board as freshmen or newbs and tend to hang out and post with those who came on the boards around the same time. They make a lot of the same discoveries and mistakes and it's all exciting and makes for good fodder to discuss. As time goes on, we tend to move through Lit with our friends, or classmates. Then, as members of your group fall away from Lit you're left on your own and it really does seem different.
We change too. As time goes on, the excitement wears off and we become more experienced and jaded. Our lives change and the reasons we came to Lit for may not be relevant any more. The relationships we've had play into it for good and bad. There is also becomes a repetitiveness that can seem, well, boring.
I've always said that you get out of Lit what you're willing to put into it. After a while you kinda get tired of putting in, especially when the payback doesn't seem worth it. PLP, you've put a lot into Lit, given a lot of time and creativity. I'm thinking that that things might be feeling out of balance for you.
That's where I am. Just kind of bored and tired of posting. I chat quietly in the back of the room with a few old friends, but leave the active socializing and flirting to the new kids.
This is insightful. And it wasn't my first thought...but it feels true
