The recurrence of the 1st October is an opportunity to look back at the past of this living campaign and do some statistics. The most obvious count is the posts count:

First year: 2,500 posts
Second year: 3,000 posts
Third year: 3,800 posts
Fourth year: 2,800 posts

Total posts: 12,100 !!!

Between the 1st October 2020 and the 1st October 2021 there were 2,800 posts, that are slightly below average, but still a great number, especially during a difficult year for many people (of course including myself).
Hopefully the future will motivate more people to have fun and role-play :)
Another factor to consider is that perhaps "simple" websites like RPoL are becoming a bit less fashionable for RPG support and it appears that there are less gamers available.
