Q: Users asking (and self-answering) a lot of questions

BenI've been going through the feed a bit recently, and I've noticed that one particular user has been asking a lot of questions, and most of the time answering them. These questions often get asked in bulk, within 5-30 minutes of each other, up to 5 at a time. The questions are not bad, but general...

Are you guys active in the Arqade server on Discord?
I might just stop using this site and default to that one if you guys are also there

I can't think of what happened 18 months ago to cause that
Actually it looks closer to 12 months

low hanging fruits for getting rep growing scarce and the "gamification/gratification" model falling apart, Monica, ads using audio file and nsfw ads on the network, Monica, change of the license, Monica, data leak, Monica, removing the data dump hoping no one notice, Monica, AI moderation mess and follow up strike, Monica, "Meta is only the toxic less than 0,000000000000000001% vocal part of the community", Monica, the Hot Meta Post mess, Monica, firing employees without any warning, Monica.... did I miss anything?
I won't say it started exactly 18 months ago but I can see many reasons people got tired and stopped active contribution.

Also, and let me remove the mod hat for a little moment... there are no events or things made by SO to muster interest in the site
I can't tell you last time we had a new feature to play with
If we wanna do a contest or something the best we can do is a reward that is free, like being featured on the homepage
I remember receiving a free copy of ME3 via Arqade; that doesnt happen anymore

@Fredy31 you think Mihoyo is stupid to program a minigame to be used as a 2 weeks limited time never again event.
Then, Winter Bash.
Fredy31
Fredy31
Winter Bash has basically been the same event for a decade
and its the only SE wide event I can think of
SPArcheon
SPArcheon
now is starting to die too but before it had its own "minigame".
the knitting thing, the google dinosaur unicorn version etc etc.
Fredy31
Fredy31
@SPArcheon But yeah Mihoyo does that, and its not an annual event, we just never see it again

@Fredy31 to be fair, some events return in a new version.
just not the actually plot relevant ones.
Will be nice to see if the bottle will be reused next year.
The summer Kleevent this year has a new map.
The apple archipelago has been dismissed.

That is something that seems, in Star Rail, better; it looks like if you participated in an event, you may come back to it whenever

can't cry since the new one has roller-coaster
Fredy31

idk how that will work if some events have multiplayer

Because, remember, Klee is totally not the favorite.

@fredley funny, was going to mention that one and how I doubt the current staff even remember that being a thing.

This site sucks

@fredley create a room, call it "Asteroid" and add a description "to play, send a message with the words 'insert coin' "

At least that's what most closely fits as far as external factors go
