I was wondering why this forum is so quiet recently?

I used to get a good 30 minute read when I logged in.

Now there is just dribs and drabs.

Stewy

Thought the same its a matter of logging in and logging off, as its the same topics over and over again, maybe they are all in the chat room

I get totally turned off by the risible tripe and ludicrous postings of a feral few members - that ruin it for everyone else. They should have left the playground years ago, but seem to be 'stuck on stupid'.

Most questions people ask have been addressed before , so rather than find the answer it by using the topics at the bottom of the page , they ask the question again , so yes i can see why people are getting board { i am jesting } . it can get quite repetative . Also , i think the loss of of the humerous and personable members who have left the board has had an impact too .

Have a good Sunday , Simbas

Hi Simbas hope your well, any reason why a lot of members have left the forum, is it because of the posting or lack of them or have they gone into a chat room to talk 1-1

Good morning Smithy , i'm fine thanks hope you are too .Some have just left for various personal reasons , others they could'nt stand the bickering amongst the members so simply they just don't post any more . That is only my opinion

Regards , Simbas

hi mrs garnet.i think you have hit the nail on the head there.just look at some of the threads that have been posted recently.no names no pack drill.but what purpose do they serve other than to notch up more points on their score board.

have a nice sunday all.

hi smithy,i just can't understand why some people, post thread's that have no

relevance to anything.ok some people have said that if all post's were about n/c

how boring it would be,and i must agree with them on that,but some people seem to post new thread's for the sake of posting,rather than for the content of the post in question.

have a nice sunday smithy

Hi Pat,

Hope you and your family are well.Its a shame that alot of the humour has left the forum through one thing or another.I two tend to pop in and out now.I agree that there needs to be some form of moderation on personal attacks etc.But i think that it has got a little out of hand recently,and maybe this is why some of the "stalwarts" that used to post on here dont bother any more "just my opinion" as one of them used to say,

Regards,

Paul.

Hi Paul , we are all fine as i hope you and your family are too . it certainly feels very different on here recently . When some certain members stopped posting , some of the humour stopped as well . Perhaps it will pick up , hope so

You take care Paul xx

ps . I think the way that you stand by Newlad is admirable , you certainly are a good friend to him

Sorry everyone finds this thread boring.

I only started it to see if it was just me that thought the life had left this stagnant forum.

It was a habit to browse the posts. But the habit, like smoking is getting tiresome.

A couple of members and one forum admin, admirably are trying to jolly things up.

Unfortunately their survey like threads just make it worse as they are childish and pointless.

You have to be carefull what you say or you run foul of the MODERATORS.



It makes posting rather boring, sometimes i just give up now.

Perhaps you could tell us how 'moderation' has affected your postings.
