I think what's going on is that not enough people came up with positive
topics, a couple of really negative posts were made, and the unrest at coming
back from summer and finding no awesome news (like the Zip GS shipping)
sort of coagulated and things got going again.

I believe things will lighten up soon as it looks like we've gotten most of
the bitching out of our systems.
