I reckon there’s been several changes here over the years as all communities evolve, like with the creationists getting the boot, but there definitely was a lot of rapid change in terms of the commenters over the summer.

The major catalyst seems to have been the banning of Iron Fist. That was the point at which a lot of others decided that they were going to leave, since Charles had decided to chart a different course than they. For many such people, their course led them over the falls.
