A 3.1 to 1 swing between the busiest and quietest hour — mostly one region, with a scattering elsewhere.

Arrivals, departures and bans, by month

Almost nobody walked out. They were removed.

Only 486 people ever chose to leave this channel. Another 1,039 were banned, peaking at 122 in December — a moderation purge, not an exodus. What actually declined was arrivals: 4 joined in the first month, 13 in the last.

No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.

Federal-Lab4142Myself I mean. Or the worse half of us.
shothappHi. Everyone
Federal-Lab4142I have loved you since we have been together. I fantasize about you, you are the one I think about when I take care of myself...and EVERY decision or thought is ALWAYS about you. You make my day when your in a good mood. But that's seldom. Im thinking its cuz of me. You dont find me attractive,or beautiful,or even cute. You cant make love to me. So im sure its because im not the super model that you want. And im sorry for that. But I've lost so much weight that EVERYBODY says I'm looking good. All BUT YOU. Your not happy with me or y0u wouldn't go online looking for women. Im sorry I treat you like shit. Is what you say. I dont think that way. I get mad when I find out your looking at women online and getting off. No wonder you don't want to make love to me. Im YOUR wife. That kind of shit shouldn't b going on in a marriage. I do think you need help cuz I believe you have an online sex addiction. But you keep telling me your not doing what I see on your phone. Then who is? You do that at least once a day or even all day long while im working. Why? Is it me? Or what please talk to ne about this. Cuz im so upset im about to end myself. Then yoy would b happy. Is that what you want??? Just talk to me about it. Please I'm begging you to do this. Just talk to PLEASE. PRETTY PLEASE. cuz i cant imagine life WITHOUT YOU in it. I love you so very much. More then you realize. Just talk to me...
