You relied way too much on one form of revenue for traffic and post count, the SF Feather award, but other than that you didn't have much else going on around here.
Post count doesn't mean anything, yes Google loves content, but not when it's all the same. You could have 100 000 posts that say "thanks for the share dude" or 50 000 posts that actually mean something in terms of content, and it's much better when the content differs if you want relate this as a good or bad move in relationship to Google.
It takes more than the hype of getting an award on a bigger site to actually run a website. SF is not an HF puppet, the relationship between them should not affect whether they go downhill or uphill, that's when you know you actually have something going for this site...
Have you not seen the traffic this site receives? If the posts were not of quality it would not receive such hits. SF never has been a HF puppet, Omniscient made sure of that. The site is filled with rich unique content which is why Google absolutely adores this forum from the looks of things. The award doesn't necessarily mean the site will only contain LQ posts, in fact with the award being in place it encouraged more users to come here and post high quality material.
In my honest opinion the award should come back ASAP. If you have a resource like HF at your disposal it's completely illogical not to use it.
