Are you just going to keep complaining forever until it is closed, or would you theoretically give up eventually?
From the conclusion to my second email (linked above; emphasis added):
Now. I could keep this up for the indefinite future, posting statistics about how other sites are literally 1000x more active than SL4 is. But if all the points I have presented are insufficient, then it's hard to see why simply repeating them with slight variations as the statistics change would make them sufficient. I'm done; my case has been presented. I'll stick around for a month for whatever is left to discuss, and then unsubscribe - voting with my feet, as it were.
Usually you'...
This is probably of interest only to the old-timers here. (Ironically, as a cross-post, this is almost by definition spam for LW, since anyone really interested in the topic would already be subscribed to SL4 and would have seen the emails.)
In 13 March, I finally got around to a long outstanding bit of cleanup: suggesting that the equally long defunct SL4 list be formally closed, things tidied up, and the lights turned out. The suggestion met with a mixed (and muted) reception.
Last night I followed up with a second email comparing SL4 activity to activity on Extropy-chat, LW, OB, and MoR; it won't surprise anyone trying to drink from the firehose here that LW is approximately 3 orders of magnitude more active than SL4 is.
