The original Hobbit Hole thread ... with over 4000 responses and this New Hobbit Hole had a bit of 'magic' about it. Look how it grew. Attracting new lurkers. Now in it's new location it gets a bit less exposure. It seemed a 'aire de esprit' or is it 'a esprit decorps', kind of thread. My perception.

I may be over re-acting to the change. Maybe not.

Either way, I don't know what you're trying to say! It's in another language! ;-)

Well, we are doin' the best we can in the new forum... I like it. -and that is not the change that has impacted the rate or the energy here, IMHO.

It is impossible to maintain the same intensity that we had when everyone was seeing the film for the first time, second time, third time, fourth time, and retelling the emotion of seeing this film. Many are still going to see it, but the conversations have all been had on the subject of the first film! (some of the better conversations have been had 3-4 times!) And what a great ride it was! Now we wait for the next important new thing to re-light our fires.

If things are quiet now, it is because we are between events. Personally, I will need that break in intensity. I can't do it for three years at that pace without a breather.
