This sentiment isn't reflected in the OP at all. If you're ready to move on, that's fine and I'd hardly begrudge you, in fact you deserve praise for keeping the place going and upgraded the way you have. If it's time to find another site runner (or whatever the term is), so be it. Whatever reason you have for being ready to hand over the reigns are your own.
What you posted above didn't seem like Cynthitiq's personal opinion of what constitutes a healthy TFP, but rather some objective law about forums. Perhaps that was my misunderstanding.
Anyway, I do stand by my statement that there's absolutely nothing you can do as an admin/mod to increase user activity. You can help to facilitate the natural flow of activity by keeping the site clean and running, but at the end of the day it's just you getting out of the way to allow the community to do its own thing. If TFP is slow right now, it's slow right now. I can't say if it will speed back up again or continue to slow down, but it's going to happen and there's nothing you, I or even Jon Stewart can do about it.
Would you like to hand over the reigns to a new tech savvy and well respected member of the community (not me, I'm not tech savvy)?
