I personally agree with the idea that places have their dry spells. I myself have lost passion for it because of the simple lack of interest invoked upon me, time consumption, and pretty much inconculsive "battles" that get phased out because of such inacitvity. Safer seems to think we'll never return to the glory of the older days, but I guess I might have needed to been here earlier to understand. I have to disagree though, I think it will pick up sooner or later. Probably after a massive, lengthy, and gradual recuperation, to agree with the all those who seem to think that the arena has been plunged into such a crappy position.
