Upon my return to the digital enclave of /ftl/ after an interlude of several days’ absence, I find myself enveloped by a deep and resonant void, a poignant hollowness that permeates my being as I re-engage with the practice of Ellie-posting, once a vibrant tapestry of communal fervor. Alas, the current state of this cherished forum evokes a profound melancholy, for it appears that the collective intellect and creative vitality of its denizens have waned to a lamentable degree, resulting in contributions that strike me as regrettably deficient in originality and vigor. The once-effervescent spirit that animated these threads now languishes, as if the very lifeblood of inspiration has been sapped, leaving behind a desolate landscape where the spark of ingenuity and the dynamism of discourse have faded into a somber, listless echo of their former glory.
