Oh hell yes it has changed.
It's just that the posts are coming faster. I still think the number of 'good posts per hour' is the same, it's just that there is now a greater quantity of posts going through now. Sad to see you go B.. But I hope to see you occassional pop into the tech sections or similar. AD -------------------- I can make my own woggle! Bet you can't woggle yours.

AD posts are coming faster? *confused* I think the sheer volume of the past meant that there was something for everyone, less so today me thinks. The fewer threads/posts the more the shit fights stand out :) Anyway, I think the volume alone makes the dynamics today different, something that can't really be judged easily by looking at archives. -------------------- Karl Kruszelnicki - No, I’m fully prepared to believe in the “Church of God the Utterly Indifferent who sets the universe going and says you’re on your own kids.

There's less meat to go around now I suppose, and a lot of us here are fighting over it :-P
That being said, I still find the box and bits subsections to me more my cup of tea, and enjoy posting there. 99% of my posts would be there I reckon. And, that's why I came here; for the tech -------------------- "I still maintain Nobody813 is a bot" - noskcaj

Been thinking about this for a few days now. I only really lurk in the other sections and that's only to see if people I'm keen to read are about. Haven't seen many of them active these days though. Nich's right in a way, I am jumping on a bandwagon but it's probably about time. I'm sure I'll get blamed for being the same but I've had enough of the petty, snide, self-righteous cunts that tend to pop up more often than not these days and most (not all) of them come from the ranks of the long-term members.
Guess this'll be my 3rd break/leaving post but hey, just making my case. Maybe I'll see y'all in a year or so ;) |

I would lurk for a few days post a couple of comments then piss off for a few months again. This stint has been the longest iv stayed for a few years. I think the nostalgia I feel for these forums and my curiosity about what some of the long term members are up to keep pulling me back. (board-em also plays a big part) But when I do come back I'm always left a little bit sad because of how much this once vibrant community is now stagnating. -------------------- (\__/)

Sure, run off after making a cycling thread. See if we don't realise it's a cry for attention over not winning PotM for it : p

Yes Mac.. Coming faster.
In 'the old days' which everyone refers to, often a thread with only 2 or 3 replies will still be on the front page 2 days later. Not many threads/posts. AD -------------------- I can make my own woggle! Bet you can't woggle yours.

really? You must be talking about 'the really old days'. :)
When I started, threads & posts used to fall off the front page a lot faster than today. I must be a newbie! -------------------- Karl Kruszelnicki - No, I’m fully prepared to believe in the “Church of God the Utterly Indifferent who sets the universe going and says you’re on your own kids.

That's cheating tho', because you could show the entire index on the one single page.
