If I may, I can see three possible reasons for folks not posting here on the forums.

Personally, I got tired of the argument. I would find myself becoming way too emotionally involved in the discussions, to the extent where it was affecting my regular life. And, as much as I love it here, I had to devote more time to the people in my life who weren't just words on a computer screen... Does that make sense?

Another reason I can see for a lull in the forums is a genuine lack of interest. Everyone, it seems, has heard all of the arguments both for and against homosexuality, and all of the different interpretations of scripture and ideologies of how much a government should influence social practices. The majority of the American population is starting to ignore these issues. Aside from the battle in California, we take the sidelines for everything. There really isn't a great passion for gay rights in this country anymore. Too much else is happening, society is too busy to focus on gay rights, so it would make sense that a forum of this nature would have a lull.

And thirdly (remember, I'm only just speculating), it may be simply because not too many people know about Soulforce. Honestly, if you were to walk down the street and ask the first ten people you ran into, "Hey, what do you think about Soulforce, and its position on homosexuality?" How many people would be able to answer that question? How many people would even know what we are? I know in my neighborhood people might think that Soulforce was some new age religion or something.

That's just my thoughts...
