I didn't blamed anyone. Just mentioned it.

That's the led of an at-at. (yeah, it's not that recognisable)

For my part, as I haven't got around to getting a DA membership, I can't see the picture full-size.  It looks good in the thumbnail, though. 8)

I've certainly noticed a lack of comment recently.  I'll log-on after a couple of days, and find that only one or two new comments on threads I've commented on.  Also, I've noticed a lot of activity on the Growth and Fandom boards, neither of which is my 'thing', and commensurately a reduction in activity on the boards I normally frequent (Athletes, here and Muscle stories mainly).  As for why, I have no idea.  Perhaps it's easier to post a couple of page from an old comic or write a post about a girl hitting 50 ft tall than it is to write a story, produce a piece of artwork or produce a profile on a muscular woman.  For my part, I cannot imagine not coming here, and I continue to post frequently, but I fear that the site may be entering a terminal decline in activity, as it doesn't matter how good Lingster is as a host, if nobody posts here, then how can it survive?  It all seems related to the fact that there seem to be loads of new members here who post a few times about a Figure competitor or to mention a website, but who don't hang-around and get involved.  They seem to treat it like a billboard.

Well, I wouldn't be going all doom and gloom just yet – again, I still feel it’s a cyclical thing during the yr, with an ebb and flow participation.  Admittedly, in my locating and making people here aware of the buffed chix materials that I find, I try to stick to a few niche interests, and assume others will cover for those that I don’t normally bother with following too closely.

Lingster has established something here that you don't normally see with most forums.  Rather then being a Johnny-One-Note with say, sticking to only GTS or Furry or SW as the genre germane to involvment and posting, Amaz0ns has balanced variety to it.  Not only in the realms of fantasy, but also involving real-world applications, whether it’s about FBBing or Athletic Woman.  Moreover, its one of the few places that promotes femuscularity as a positive aspect for women, whether it’s FBBing or the area of in-general fem-empowerment.  These factors of flexiblity are the key to its survival, especially over the long haul.

With very few rare exceptions (DTV, which come most readily to my mind), you aren't going to find yourself, (especially if you a writer or an artist), a very popular fellow (or fellowette) with those who regular attend most TF forums, and of whom have an active fear and loathing for the concept of buffed chix and FMG.

I must admit I was getting a little pessimistic last night.  I'd agree that Amaz0ns will be well-served by its broad spread of interests and inherent flexibility.  I am concerned, though with this trend of new members posting a few related posts then disappearing.  It means that new blood isn't becoming an integral part of the site, and that concerns me.  If I think back to the last new members I can remember offhand who have become regular contributors I'm left thinking of people like Corcarne, Ad Meyer and Mimi rather than anyone much more recent (sorry if I've missed anyone obvious).

At the moment, I'd have to say mikazuki is the one that comes most readily to my mind, and for reasons only known to her she stopped participating here.

Again, if I had to point at a forum setup with a similar level of diversity, I'd have to point to Lorekeep's The Process, which has been around for several yrs, **I think** as much as ten or eleven, now.  They're not fond of FMG there, primarily his/their interests lay elsewhere in transgenic (aka furry), GTS and some other TFing topics.  Even so, his forums have survived several times going down and out, but being resurrected again.
