I think declining stats are to be expected, but they may also mask more complex trends. I for one, intend to stick around through the end of the series, but I have been commenting far less, and have not left any reviews recently, partly because I am busier, partly because mnff has been harder to use, since, for a while, it was reported as hosting malware, which may or may not have any relationship to fact, but surely makes it harder to access, and because they have been late uploading chapters.

So I became more of a passive consumer, showing up in the hit count, but hardly in the comments and reviews.

How many readers read directly from the fanfic sites, rather than coming here, first?
