I find that I only find a zag when things start to stagnate.

Back in my irc days, all was good for a long time. What I was doing in my life then was well related to the crowd I was hanging with.

Then, there was no more growth of knowledge (well, in areas I was concerned about).

Then the 'fights' started. There was mutual tiredness between members. I ended up not spending time on irc any longer, due mainly to things like ultimate/work/gf.

Now I'm using perlmonks because it is directly related to major functions of my life. I'm learning a lot of new tricks from all these excellent people. Things are good, and I don't see that changing for a very long time.
