(Before anyone says: "This belongs in the War forum." please read the thread.)

I can see that the War is hurting IW, ever since it started, people are posting less, old members become lurkers, everyone has an easier time getting angry, also, I might be wrong, but is it just me or do our moderators, who do such a wonderful job, seem more prone to thread locking?

Something unrelated to the War, but related to IW:

It seems that Conversation Zones, RP threads and Parties are dying, Conversationg Zones stop being active, RP threads have problems even starting off and Parties either remain talk or don't get more than four or five posts.

C'mon people! These threads are part of the Lifeblood of IW, they are what keeps it alive, along with all of the fun and nice threads which we have been seeing a general lack of, in fact, this started even BEFORE the War, though the War has amplified it, I don't know what it is, though I suspect that the recent attacks against SPAM have left people afraid to post things for fear that they might be spamming and have their threads locked or deleted and maybe get banned, also, I know that the "I got 2000 posts!" threads might be spam, but they were fun and social too, I know that the attacks against SPAM and the War are not the only causes for this, the dissapearance of Oldies are also to blame, but that is something which we cannot change.
