Hoy,
ZOMG, it's a Burrick!
Glad to see you're still around, mate.
As for the OP, I wouldn't worry much about it, Belf. Yes, it seems to be a particularly quiet time on TS, and yes, last year was a particularly rowdy one. But, it's not the first quiet "spell" that TS has gone through, and it won't have been the last rowdy one either.
Over the course of my four to five years here, I've come to learn that these things come and go, and I just go with the flow and try to provide for the people that *are* around at any given time.
We'll still be a home for those that are away but might want to come back.
Cheers,
J.
