It seems to have gone the opposite way for me. I feel less involved and
more cut-off.

I noticed it all falling apart when meo was taken offline. Before then the
community seemed both fairly tight-knit but also open to new people at the
same time. People like JesterUK and MartinT seemed to have moved on. There
also used to be loads of really good PHP articles being posted, whereas
these seemed to have dried up now.

If I knew exactly what had caused the loss of community I feel, I'd
probably be able to change it back somehow. :)
