"we're going dark for two days!" isn't going to change anything. reddit mods live for reddit. Why would they leave?

"Nobody goes there anymore, its too crowded."

Really, though. What's the point of contributing to a thread that already has hundreds of top level posts. Something new and fresh is worth a try.

It changed something for me. Sure I might have changed sooner or later anyway but the 48 hours created awareness and provided a moment of time in which to look into alternatives.
