People should remember that any discussion topic is finite, so there's only so much you can talk about it. Eventually, it seems like all the important points have been covered, and if you want to keep talking about it, you'll just repeat old topics all over again. And there's repetition because every topic is limited, so it's impossible to keep a discussion going forever. So, either people say what's been said before, or just stop talking -- because every discussion is finite. There's only so many things you can talk about before you start repeating yourself. And repetition happens because--
Point is, maybe many members become "indifferent" to Mike related topics because they ALREADY wrote and read all about it, not because they want to sabotage the board or because they don't care about it. But all the old topics are there, still open. Sweetpea used to bump old topics to share her views, and as a result, old discussions became revitalised by new people with new ideas. I think that tends to be a far better strategy than expecting old members to start new (and potentially absurd or inane) topics for discussion.
Off-topic discussions always exist, and we should be thankful that there's a space for them, so they don't end up contaminating in-topic threads.

... this place has been a ghost town these last few days - can see tumbleweed blowing down the street.
