And I am even more suspicious of the lack of maintenance and attention being shown there given the fact that BT just got considerable positive publicity (as did this board) through the Neurology Now article. I imagine due to that more people are trying to find BT and join it, as they are here--it IS almost as if membership is being indirectly (not overtly) discouraged.

I wonder if the power that is there would rather see BT fade (as other projects are being worked on that hold more interest), but if an outright shutdown was attempted, there would be too much outcry/bad publicity, so the way to do it is to weed people out by making the site difficult to use, until no one posts there any more and the site can be shut down quietly.
