E-News Network - "President fiddles while Europeia sleeps"Written by HEM Tiberius
Europeia's activity crisis has reached new heights with the upcoming conclusion of the month of September. New data suggests that posting levels at their lowest levels since spring of 2009.
While many brush off post count as an imprecise measure of activity, there is no doubt that the region has been quieter. And it isn't all because of the 3-day post loss either.
"You can add 300 posts to our total," ENN Contributor Paul Krugman says, "And you are still at the lowest activity levels since 2009. You can add 1000 posts -- which would probably be a gross overestimation with how quiet we have been -- and we are still at historic lows."
President Seven Deaths seems rather absent from the region, and those looking for leadership on this issue are finding themselves disappointed. The President has given only one address to the region -- upon his election a month and a half ago -- and hasn't posted in his public administration updates thread for four weeks.
What has raised eyebrows among regional stalwarts, however, is what exactly the President has been doing. According to data collected via members' publicly accessible "posts made per month" display, President Seven Deaths has made just 155 posts in Europeia.
"You can cite the forum crash, you can make excuses, but that isn't a high number," Former UK Prime Minister and ENN correspondent John Major says, "President Quilor maintained monthly numbers in the mid-to high 500s during his term. And he was considered by some to be a less active President."
The more shocking data isn't just on what President Seven Deaths in doing in Europeia, but where he is truly investing his time. ENN affiliates in Albion have reported that Seven Death's post count for September in the region of Albion is 3070 posts. 3070 posts is 600 more post than the entire region of Europeia has had for the month of September.
Europeia has recovered from activity slumps before, but it has always required strong leadership. Do we have it? That's not for us to say.
