    First Moogle, then JK hung up his clogs now Mediaboy is on extended leave (although he has visited the forum , just not posted)

    The banter has certainly died down, I miss SiM's threads and the guessing how long before a mod stepped in game

    Re: Dropping like flys...



    i do miss how the forum used to be, feels like a shell - an empty husk now

    tiny example was the F1 in Hamiltons debut season, had enough people there, talking to have an actual conversation spread over the length of a race rather than a few days

    Clunk left because even though he won the award for it at Christmas, certain people felt his humour was not needed.

    Clunk left?

    Think of a really bad joke, post up the opening line and wait for him to sniff it out.

    He'll come running back.

    This place has been rather more quiet recently. I have been spending more time working/looking after a 6 month old baby/ on talkphotography personally!

    It is sad to see a few of the old faces much less often, even clunk! Fiesty FTW!
    Not around too often!

    Things change, but if we maintain the quality of the site, then they (and others) will be back.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Re: Dropping like flys...

    I think people go through stages where they will lurk a lot more than posting. I know there have been times that I've rarely posted for months on a forum I regularly visit, but still keep up with everything that is going. Sometimes you feel that there's no point posting unless you have something to say, and there are times when you just don't have anything to contribute.

    They'll be back, they always come back.

    When you've been here as long as I have, you'll know that these things are cyclical - the waxing and waning of a forum's activity.

    Re: Dropping like flys...

    I know myself that my browsing etc has gone through the window with the arrival of my little one and she takes up all my spare time. If I'm ever on the PC, I can guarantee that shes on my knee trying to bash the keys as I type, making a 3 minute visit a 10 minute fight and in the end I move away from the PC. Don't even mention the 360 because she's developed a way of noticing the green lights are on and unplugging all the controllers and turning it off in 1 foul swoop

    The only time I get quality time on the PC is when she's either asleep in bed, or out with my other half and most that time is spent doing conversions of files to play through the media streamer, or a quick dabble on a game for 30 mins before all hell breaks loose when she crawls into me.

    I've not even been out for a drink for over 12 months now and I've not been clubbing or out to do anything special

    Re: Dropping like flys...

    I used to post several times a day until a few years back when I discovered wonderful things called MMO's. Since then, I have read Hexus pretty much every day but only posting the odd new thread or reply once every few days.

    However, it has become virtually impossible for me to read the huge amount of posts that we are now getting on Hexus so I no longer use the "New Posts" and just look in GD, Gaming, Mobile Phones and most of the Help forums as these interest me the most.

    I also did not like what GD had become, athough lots seemed to love it. GD used to be a place where you could ask a serious question and mostly get serious answers, yet for quite a while it seemed that ALL posts were derailed and taking as a complete joke, despite the OP looking for some serious answers. It only happened to be a few members doing it, and it caused a few arguements from what I can remember, but the lack of respect for other posters pushed me away for a long time.

    Anyhow, it's been getting a bit better lately, or maybe some people think it's getting quieter due to these "jokers" moving on?
