They make the Marie Celeste look like the Ministry of Sound on a busy night.
 
It's nobody's fault.  But what can we do?  I used to love coming here, when if you went away for a wee or a cuppa, your thread had disappeared onto the next page, overtaken by other threads. 
 
For me, and others like me, they are a lifeline.  Why are they dying?  Dedicated posters keep posting, but new blood is missing.
 
Help, someone, please.
