I think it's too easy to get burnt out of dom by being in a leadership position. It's a lot of effort, a lot of time and there will still be complaints, so it can get sour very quickly. Plus that's kinda how it goes, if the flight sucks at it, it's probably because no effective leadership showed up before. When it does, people will probably expect it to stay for a while, at least until it can build the dom spirit.

Idk, to an outsider it's kinda hard to know if they closed up because nobody else wanted to help or if nobody else wanted to help because they felt they'd be intruding on a tight-knit group of friends. Valightines was intense, I'm sure the whole Fjaer "you're ruling things from your ivory tower" issue didn't help too.

I'm hoping that dom workshop eventually happens, I think right now we've got at least a few people who'd legitimately try to put an effort into being helpful towards the flight, but who might not know where to start. (I was very impressed by the newbies welcoming team's efforts!) Would be great to help breaking this 'elite' feeling and also give them some rest, I guess.
