Now that I think about it, furcacaotry has always been an underlining theme in drama from then up until now. I wasn't around for the initial few months of the Shlog so I can't speak of if that was the case or not but that's certainly something strange to note.
Artificial drama is gay and I'd get bored of it in a week.
We've been saying this since last October during the slowest Shroom months historically. While yes, it's proven itself as actually aiding site activity with the Cacacaust, it's also proven fatal with user retention amongst new users tanking repeatedly within their first 100 posts. There simply isn't enough going on to keep people coming back, and with how loud and fast the Boorum is now, those same users end out gravitating there for that constant grab of user activity and drama to keep up with.
