As I was telling me friend White Rhino just the other day, the world isn't going to hell in any handbasket. All that nonsense about the good old days with more trees and biomes and such. Why, there is a nice park just outside my office. Someone's always crying about change. Ain't that right, Rhino? Rhino?
Location, location, location. Just a pan-species perspective on world. No charge.
Now the threads of workshops have been purged from the past but archives here to indicate a more vibrant and populated level of thought and discussion. The posts about poetics or what-have-you are longer and less cynical,and there seem to be way more active members alert and awake. I suspect it was just new and exciting to folks back then. There is the Ovid effect. There is also the frog in the boiling water effect.
It is still a very fun place, but more new folks would help the dna. Fact.
