If UD is the leading ID blog why have the Biologic Institute web pages turned into a blog? However, like EN&V without comments. Maybe the "lab" members don't want to be associated with the dumbest party of the ID movement anymore. Since UD was preaching to the choir allowing comments never made much sense anyway and only revealed that ID is indeed Christian creationism.
The Biologic Institute has its own AtBc thread over here.

Switching channels briefly....

The lights have finally gone out at ISCID.

On a related note, JAD, who has been the only active member of ISCID's forums for the past five years has this to report....

Good news about possibly not hearing from him again.

Why that could be isn't encouraging, however.

JAD has been an interesting diversion for many years. He is insane, but not stupid. We all die, but I would rather read the Obit of Dick Chenny than JAD.

What happened in October, 2008?

More importantly, how many are reading UD?  That's what counts because it affects their advertising revenue.

Dunno about October 2008.

I hardly read it any more because there is nothing left to read. I mean... when someone links to something interesting there or there is a sock or a real person commenting it kinda gets interesting. Since the Barrygasm of bannings it just isn't worth reading. Certainly de News or Giggling Gordo may write something sort of funny but even those joke®s are getting old.

What is the worst that could happen if UD dies? We still have the archives of this thread and its predecessors. No new tard has been invented in years.

Once UD dies there will only be the various bits and pieces from the DI. Everything else is pretty much dead.

I dunno if it affects their advertising revenue but I have been running AdBlock on UD for a long time.

The month of April 2008 was covered here:

From about page 884 to 918 (about 34 pages!)

Your assignment is to slog through it and tell us what happened at UD back then.

And that is what killed comment frequency on UD? Interesting. All we need now is Expelled II: The Slowening.

1. No, I answered another question. That's what created the bump in April 2008

2. Wasn't there much blocking going on in late 2008?

I got the data by looking up the ~9,000 threads and could so get all comments currently on display.

Are you looking for something like this? Thread == posts, I think.

If you have the data could you graph comments per thread?

I'm not sure I'm reading all of that correctly, but I think looks like the rubbish threads generated by "News" eroded the posts per thread ratio, even while the raw  number of posts increased during the Elizabethan Age.

Edited.

Ides of March, 2009, the whole business started here. As TimeRime indicates, most of 2008 was unremarkable. If I recall correctly, Dembski had led up to the mother of all Friday meltdowns with the Baylor Board of Regents debacle in late 2007 and whether that was a factor or not he seemed to have less to do with UD after that. Again, IIRC, there seemed to be a bit of a leadership vacuum then, with DaveTard, Clive, O'Leary and Barrington all circling each other.
