drdawg said:Jay, this has nothing to do with ATP, and needless to say, I have commented quite a bit on its advantages

I'm afraid I missed your point here. I was not talking about ATP. You and zuzu both mentioned DG and I making a correlation about you comments and hers.

drdawg said: I have noticed this same tendency for the entire 2014, and the discrepancy between ATP and DG seems to be growing wider all the time.

DG membership is dropping while ATP is growing, which might explain why there is such a difference in the two and why the gap is growing.

zuzu said:There's a general lack of community spirit there.

The lack of community spirit is likely a big reason their membership is dropping

zuzu said:I only saw one DG post congratulating the winners of this year's photo contest, for instance, and I'm not sure anyone responded to it. Compare that to the discussions here following our photo contest.

Both community spirit and declining membership probably contributed to this. While ATP has both a large membership and great community spirit.
