There was a slight lull at SF for a few months till a few weeks ago.

That is because I came back after being gone for many months.


No, it isn't.

Maripat, please tell me you are not near death. Every post I read of yours over the past few weeks all have the exact same message: Stop talking, GO and DO.

I don't think people have hit analysis paralysis. From what I am understanding you to be asking or saying, you are asking what impact Sunni Forum has had (on a large or small scale), and why are people not doing more. Are people taking the messages and things learned here and going out and doing something about it-- living it, teaching it, etc. Or are people content to simply talk and discuss. You want people to move beyond the idea of a discussion forum, and live it out somehow in their lives and in the world. Education, translating, politics, mental health care, etc.

I often think there is a fine line that people sometimes walk between knowing what is bragging and what is not. I can see where a member of the forum might not feel comfortable in posting something such as, "A thread on sunni forum inspired me to go out and do this in my community and this was the result of it........" No one wants to be seen as a braggart, but on the other hand, if people shared more then it might encourage others to go out and do likewise, or provide ideas for others.

But I think that just because we do not see an impact, does not mean that an impact is not being made. A lack of evidence is not indicative of a lack of results.

I was going to say, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." But then I wondered if elephants are halal.
