Over the last few months, I think I could reasonably say that the content of the Islas forum is becoming less and less useful and informative. One thing to remember while saying this, though, is that the number of blogs started by Islasers has increased dramatically, the trend most notably starting with Pontification ad Nauseam, and continuing up to the more recent pro- and anti-Ahern blogs, varying from The Sophisticator to Impeachment or Bust. These blogs have focused mainly on the Islas president's situation and those for and against it, naturally.
But when we think about it, what good is Islas doing in the world? Even to ourselves, I couldn't honestly argue that we're being matured by being Islas members, on the whole. Is merely getting to know each other and jabbering about our latest avvys enough?
Islas ought to be a group of children and young adults growing and learning because of each other.
The Debates forum has somewhat revived in the Religious Music and Age of the Earth threads, but aside from that, there seems to be so little sensible, good thought.

'T is true,
but very pessimistic point of view.
Is the sole gist of ISLAS, as you alluded to, to be "informative"? What good doth it do? Excellent question.
Imagine there were no ISLAS. Not gradually, but you awaken to complete desolation of your laptop. No possible way of getting it back, nor a possible way of starting over. I reckon far more comrades would be far more depressed than thou. Where would they flee from Rock of Gibralter mounds of schoolwork? ISLAS is a place where homeschoolers can collaborate, a pure place of evasion from that rash rampagement, called Real Life. Nay, this is not to sayeth that we have no life. That, we do, dear sir.
But your question ought be stated,
'Without ISLAS, how would life be weighted?'
