Since I have come back to the site recently... it has been my observation that DGN has kind of gone through the life cycle of a star (the astronomy kind not the Hollywood kind).
It started long ago as sort of a swirling mass of gothic dust and debris, and kept gaining strength and power over a long period of time... eventually it had it's own satellite planets (other boards such as moonlit michigan, another few I can't remember) and we got bigger and bigger... events and recognition... then we went all red giant and lost most of the mass to space... and now we are sort of this white dwarf status... Super dense (speaking for myself here), and very compacted but not gone...
