Very good one, a little easy, but it just popped into my head. Which is not a surprise, as there is a lot of room up there.

Still the teaser count now stands at 26 (as of this comment).
That means we had as many comments in ONE day then we did in the 3 years since the teaser first appeared.
And those 12 initial comments you mention were spread out over a period of 6 months. The first appearing on May, 28 and the last on November, 27.
Proof positive that this downward slide is not something new.
The really old teasers (from 2005ish) all got lots of comments yes but like I aid you have to take certain things into conseideration
Every site has more traffic when it is new and dwindles down.
MySpace was used by many millions of people, now it is a dead site.
IM though MSN was all the rage and now it too is gone, as is the best IM site ever to exist ICQ (most of the young folks won't even have a clue what that was)
Even FB, is dropping in popularity, though many of my friends are still "registered users" I have at least 20 of them who have no posted in 2 or more years.
Many of the people who stared out here were 13-17 when they did, kids who had a lot of spare time, now those same kids are in their 20s and 30s. They now have "better" things to do.
Sorry for the "jibber jabber" doodles, I was trying to make a point to our self appointed saviour. Though in order to be a "hero" you have to have followers, otherwise you are just a blowhard.

Fun? Too easy to be fun, I like a little more of a challenge.
@ BB02 & HABS 2933 Why don't you 2 take your squabbles somewhere else. Leave this site until you grow up and can play nice.
When I saw the answer I thought there could be "one among many." I couldn't spare much time on it , but had I doubt I would have gotten it. Good though.
You were precise and pointed out the facts HABS. Now if the BB stays away this site will improve. Maybe BB will stick to his real job. Bell Boy in a flop house. Isn't that what BB really stands for-BellBoy?
1. This teaser was really good.
2. I didn't know there was such a thing as fake money. I only know real money and counterfeit money. Isit the same?
3. I learnt a new word: Goombye.

.... and I'll vacate for 90 days (except for the - maybe - fortunate Posting or two.
Oh .... my "hypothesis" is that the presence of BB02 on any given thread at any given time has NO (ZERO, ZIP, NIL, NADA) effect on the significance of quality or quantity of comments.
I'll vacate for 90 whether it (HABsie) takes the bait ... er .... uh ... WAGER or not.
What say ... HABS???
