If I can add my honest opinion here, you didn't have enough time to really do anything for SF. 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...
