LessWrong is, sadly, dying

Quite the opposite, in my opinion. To me it looks like it's growing up. The discussions are less and less in the informal style of the Sequences (which were meant to be informal, so that's on-target) and more and more formal.

And yet I see less and less evidence that people are actually reading the sequences, and more that this is being treated as "just another place to talk about your favourite 'philosophical' topics". Well, maybe the comments always sucked, but that's what it seems like to me.
