Hampden was imprisoned for something along the lines of attempted murder or stalking, not exactly sure which
It was neither of these things. He was charged with libel. Perhaps if you paid some attention to my research, you would be able to get some of the basics right.

Your consistent ability to completely miss the point never ceases to amaze me. From your "I totally get computers, btw use this cheap hosting, one click and you're done
also use ICMP ping to measure distances
" rambles to a prediction that a community whose traffic is currently on a massive upswing is "dying", it's starting to look like we need to take whatever you say and then simply assume the opposite to be true.
Consider some of the following:
Our
Alexa global rank. Check it for a few days, see if it changes. You might notice an interesting trend. Or just look at the past graph to see the very same trend over the last half-year. Sure, it's hardly the be-all/end-all of website statistics, but it's publicly accessible to the likes of you, and it should prove the point sufficiently.
Our Google Analytics data tells very much the same story:
- Daily forum traffic has tripled over the course of last year.
- Wiki traffic went up 8 times over the same period of time.
- Homepage traffic is much less linear, so I'll reduce granularity and merely mention that last month's (August 2017) traffic was at 40,000, continuing an upwards trend that really picked up the pace in April
And this is only the tip of the iceberg. You incorrectly assume that this website is the sum total of the FES's activity. Our social media following is also skyrocketing (and is one of the reasons you may have seen fewer posts from me recently), and we're garnering more and more attention from the mainstream media. Other FE groups, including those that strongly disagree with us, and the representation of which would not be found here, have observed similar increases.
No, bucko, this community is nowhere close to dying. It'll take much more than a few cretins who don't quite get it to harm our momentum. Sure, a few RE'ers are bitter because their constant shitposting along the lines of "haha if the Earth is flat then why is it so round lol??? why doesn't it freeze tho?
" doesn't get much attention. Perhaps some of you don't understand the purpose of this website and community as a whole. But that's fine. Whiny RE'er "masterminds" are collateral at best and a nuisance at worst.
