I know Tamster wasn't as active in the forums but many on the forums knew her from her daily, constant presence as the lead chat moderator. Her passing, I'm sure, has kept some people in a grieving space (including myself) where we are not responding as much.

I know for me, the fall semester started and I have two pre-grad classes, I'm getting certified as a peer support specialist, I'm studying for the GRE, and finishing two professional certifications PLUS you know, actual work. I try to come in and comment, but I only have limited time to spend on PC.

I'm sorry it seems dead. Just remember that a lot of people have started up school again, with the fall, lots of things resurface. And forum activity does ebb and flow. Frankly I see plenty of posts from new people every day, so I don't think it's dead here, just a cycling of new and old.
