    I think people are quitting QBN for multiple reasons like

    - getting older and losing interest in this kind of stuff
    - too much sensitive content for their taste
    - trolls, haters, bully and getting ridiculed or obstinate
    (in sum, the negativity)
    - not enough design related content, many were here for that at the start
    - and the more we lose people, the less content we have, that would make some people leave... downward spiral.

    • I should have quit when they deleted the PSB thread. man, that hurt.d_gitale
    • Just the Set PSB thread though, right? We've simply not bothered having any PSBs in ... i can't even think how long.Nairn
    • no, I am talking about the 'Win an iPad' PSBd_gitale
    • Oh, right. Did that even become a thread?! I remember the banner at top - drinks and PSBs or something, but only the drinks ever happened, afaikNairn
    • The internet has changed, QBN has too, we're 20 years old now, careers and devices were'nt even invented when we started. accept change that's all.robotron3k
    • BTW, How does this channel compare with the white-people-only-ve... QBN Pro?robotron3k
    • yeah, it's a bit daft to compare QBN of today with NT of 2002 when there was no FB, Twitter, Instawhatever. NT was attractive because it was quite uniqueNairn
    • robot, we're just talking on how to make QBN evolve.Bennn
    • guys, the default landing page takes you directly into the hear of our chaos, where as it should default to show real design content https://www.qbn.com/…robotron3k
    • also you lose the tab nav to the feed once you go in a subsection. The poor attendance of QBN may be part of a UX issue, it appears we have no design talk hererobotron3k
    • remember NT, we had tons of activity, the design changes, but over time many ghosted or shifted to Pro. the clunky nav didn't help eitherrobotron3k
    • Smells to me like time of a great A/B testing of a new QBN lading page. Should we do a PSB for this?robotron3k
    • less design posts because FFFFFFOUND went 404Krassy
