27. Hate to say it, but I think part of the problem is DU3.

(1) the topics have balkanized it to the point where you have to be a pretty determined hunter to find all the news that might be important to you; and (2) I suspect membership is WAY down, partly as a result. Our membership number used to be proudly posted, and as I recall was over 94,000; I haven't seen it in ages.

Used to be hard to keep a post on the Greatest page, not because it didn't get recs to begin with but because great new posts came so thick and fast and got so many recs that posts would just get crowded out, slide down and out of sight within a few hours.

I.m.h.o., DU is way less fun and informative than it used to be.
