Where have all the trolls gone?

I've noticed a lack of trolls lately. Not that I miss them but where have they gone? Is there perhaps a troll convention being held under some immense bridge somewhere or did they just shrivel up and drop dead of sheer meanness?

Where have all the trolls gone
Long time ago
Where have all the trolls gone
Turned to crap,everyone

I would say hob-lady is still pretty active.

Let it troll, baby, troll
Let it troll, baby, troll
Let it troll, baby, troll
Let it troll
All night long
Do it, Robbie, do it
You gotta troll, troll, troll
You gotta thrill my soul, alright
Troll, troll, troll, troll, a-thrill my soul

Guess who just got back today?
Them little trolls that'd been away.
Haven't changed, had much to say
But Duke, I still think them chats are crazy.

We're no strangers to trolls.
We know the rules but they do not.
A foolish spam that's what I'm thinking of.
You wouldn't get this from any other bot.

I just wanna tell you how my week's been.
Gotta make you understand.

Never gonna make this stop.
Never gonna read the ToS.
Ever gonna horse around and flirt you.
Never gonna eat your pie.
Never gonna explain that line.
Ever wanna share lies to disturb you.

It's against Lichess Terms of Service to shame members, both previous and current members.
No public shaming.
And regarding trolls, that's for Lichess administration to decide, so even if he would answer, he then, only speaks for himself.

He is simply refering to, how the Off-Topic is less flooded with Spam, as compared to earlier.

Perhaps, they have learned that they gain nothing in the lichess forums, oe did they? Anyways, where would the term "troll" have come from, is it from a cartoon?
