Has Fluther experienced Lurve inflation over time?

Occasionally looking at older threads on this website, I find the Lurve scores to be extremely low.

Some of these threads contain profound observations and hysterically funny comments. In my limited experience with Fluther, those same comments made today would have received several dozen Great Answer clicks. Most of these older answers show zero or a few GA awards given.

I am curious to know whether there are many more users now, or if the community has become more generous giving Lurve over time.

Please correct me if I have come to an erroneous conclusion.
