HEY. Fucking read this.

So I realized most of the people I consider my TDF peers are now more or less gone from TDF. Can you give me a few sentences as to "what happened" or what, if anything would bring you back? Did you outgrow it? Did you get a life? Get into a fight?

Basically: What would make TDF "better"? New rules, less rules, new mods, more mods, new look? Should

I think we're facing a spiral of negativity in Shout and TS. New members who are interested in finding their form and communicating with their newly found daemon are alienated by the amount of depression on the forum. Who wants to join a forum about talking to invisible friends in which so many people have mental illnesses ? The only ones motivated to stay are those who benefit from TDF as a support group. Do we want TDF to be a support group /: ? TS is not better than twitter, there is 0 communication. You only get a reply if your post is depressing enough, and I feel downright awkward to post something not-depressive in TS.
Also seconding that a lot of the stuff under "secret tags" and "trigger warnings" is pretty hardcore for a PG 13 forum. Jesus, some of this stuff can shock me, how is a teen going to react to it ? We've had it worse with TS:NR but still. I can hardly type anything on TDF anymore without double and triple checking there is no "trigger" on it or it's politically correct enough by adding a bunch of smileys and disclaimers when I am voicing my opinion...
