    What happened here.....

    It has actually been a while since i was on the hexus forums, i use to log in every day but then dropped of the radar for a good year to sort my personal life out (crazy ex and all) but since i've come back....

    Well i've noticed it's very different in the sense that some of the post's seem to be utterly pointless post's about useless or unworthy forum space...did i miss something!? the amount of decent interesting post seems to be limited and pushed aside by these....pointless post o.O

    Okay rant over...

    Coming from Mr Interesting Relationship issues

    No it's normal. Just ignore the people trying to push post counts and the rest (and therefore majority) of conversations are the usual high-brow stuff.

    You lost me , I mean if shes you, your ex why would you care ( although I admit it sounds little creepyish ) ?

    You dont have to name posters , Im sure you could say what sort of topics it is you miss though.

    Kai - sorry i thought you ment the dull post i was on about, but to answer your question before i naffed of you always saw post about new tech, questions about tech going wrong with answer etc but now these get pushed aside for dull question's that are no doubt caused by that "amazing" social network called facebook (like for a prayer, play this and your crush this, bla bla bla) do you get my gist?

    P.S you really don't want me to go into that story honestly it's a very messed up one...the whole stepbrother thing was a satisfying outcome though XD

    Re: What happened here.....

    here's my theory about..

    you always saw post about new tech, questions about tech going wrong with answer etc
    what if, they are people like me, who know how to use the search function in google/forums to find previous topics?
    so instead of asking a question, they just read a previous topic about it. and with us all being helpful blighters and generally getting the answers right, theres no need to ask anything anymore because its already been answered??


    as for new tech posts, I thought we were all of the opinion that there wasn't any.

    the new GPUs are just rebrands of the old ones, even VR and 3D stuff is a refresh of ancient stuff just made more shiny to appeal to youngsters.
    there is no truly new and wonderful tech for us to talk about.
    so all that's left for us to do is the dumbed down stuff that we've shied away from because it was to dumbed down for us techy wizards

    Re: What happened here.....

    to be fair, i dont believe Razer is entirely wrong about this. I used to spend a great deal of time each day checking posts and reading the new stuff, then checking back later to see if theres anything changed. Now its more of a cursory glance through New Posts and thats about it.
    shame really

    Re: What happened here.....

    There was a time that I could sit in the office on a morning and go through several pages of New Posts, posts that are new just from the night before. By the time I finished that, there would be more than a whole page of threads that have new posts for me to look at. I could trawl New Posts pretty much all morning before I catch up with them. This just doesn't happen any more.

    And more recently, I can go away for a few days and still not miss any thread updates, even though the maximum number of pages of search results had been reduced massively over the years (I seem to remember the limit was 500, now it's something like 200). In the past if I missed more than a day on here, I missed things.

    I don't mean to sound critical, I still like to keep up to date with things on here, but it just isn't as busy as it used to be.

    True, but the point about tech is fair - we've not had any great new tech to discuss lately!

    Long story short, me and ex. i was with her sister, we broke up after having child, got with said ex (who happens to be sister) ended up leaving her and sleeping with other sister, back and forth so to speak! finally called it all of got back with second sister, then we broke up, she got with her step brother, i laughed incredibly hard at her, she left her job (which was the same as mine) life is back on track now....

    There nice and simple but if you really want to read the full version go have a look at my post's, it's actually a pretty good read ha!

    Anyway back on track i'm glad i am not the only one who has noticed this as i also use to spend time on the forums so much as you have pointed out Dareos this is exactly what i was like...i miss that

    Re: What happened here.....

    It used to be much busier around here for techie stuff, especially back in the days when overclocking was a lot more difficult and most tech sites / articles were pretty much crap - not a hexus thing, but a general trend (things have improved a lot in the past 10 years).

    We also used to get a lot more general discussion threads / arguments (we don't seem to have had an atheists vs theist / deist argument recently...)
