    So, now that Hexus is kinda defunct

    Just wondering if, now theres a lot less traffic on the site if people now read threads they wouldn't normally, just because there's a new thread on the forum?

    Re: So, now that Hexus is kinda defunct

    I'd say it varies between visits, some visits I might, others I might not.

    If I do, it's likely still the case that there is nothing I can add by replying though.

    Overall, I like that people are still talking here.

    Yeah, that's how I am, I'll read a thread just because there's only a few new ones, and why not..

    Re: So, now that Hexus is kinda defunct

    How do you filter to not read everything? I mean, stuff goes so far off topic you never know where the gems are going to turn up

    according to "today's posts" there's hardly any traffic these days. Unless I'm seeing a filtered list.

    Re: So, now that Hexus is kinda defunct

    It's a more pleasant Forum to read compared to others TH is a no go area for example.
    Can't say I read any more or less topics than I used to.

    I reckon the site could claw back some numbers if it transitioned into a Forum only setup.
