I know the survey is a downer, but every time I post one of those "what would encourage you to participate more" posts? Ironically, nobody replies.
So now I've changed to trying to figure out why people are leaving, thinking of leaving, or why they left. At least maybe they'll stop by long enough to educate us.

I've posted married, I've posted single, I've posted unemployed, and I've posted overburdened with work. As long as the place seems welcoming and there are new posts, I'll likely be checking them out and responding to them.

As I said before, I tend to be either oblivious or in denial. I'll keep posting until I realize I'm the only one left.

The buttons were supposed to solve the problem of the links being gigantic on certain browsers when they're text, spilling into other columns. The buttons are a uniform size. I'm just not very good at making buttons (these are ripped off from Safari and edited slightly).

Are you hinting that I should write better and more inspiring stories?
