Where is this? I feel so left out.

I've noticed that as well. I'm on here almost every day. Yet lately, when I sign on, there is barely a new post in the previous 4-5 hours or more. What adds to the weirdness, there will be 7-8 people on, but no one is posting.

Have we drained our forum of topics? Or have we simply become to dry to all of the trolling? As much as it was annoying, it seemed to be almost more fun back when we had trolls coming in masses. Not only did it lighten the mood and give us a use for shallow, insulting humor. It gave our regulars a way to relieve a little steam and cheer up after saying "STFU N00B!".

Our forum is dying.

Oh, and a good example of this, Drac's birthday thread has less than 10 responses. That isn't the norm.

You need to stick around more often.

I never know what the dickens that ghost guy is talking about. :confused: :confused:

hee hee ....I get it....Dickens.....good one crabby.

for the record i'm not saying i'm planning on leaving or anything. . . its more a matter of registering disappointment in the state of things and, in fairness, what seemed fairly draconian measures taken by mods. His Herald was a bit annoying but if that constitutes 'unreasonable behavior' then I think we've drawn that circle a bit too tight.

maybe recent 'trolls' have made security too tight - but i think if every level of banter, back-and-forth, and annoyance is immediately erased then it leaves conversations that - as many do now - just dwindle to nothing.

i figured HIS HERALD would rile people up (and maybe in deference to ChronoG it was a bad way to spark things up) - but I was shocked to see him banned and all threads erased in less than 8 hours (after only about 10 posts and nothing blatantly offensive).

to be honest, given the total absence of most mods, i only assume this was Austin (he's the only one i've seen anywhere near the place in months) and i'm not picking a fight with him but just wondering how things got to the moribund state they currently occupy.

So you are saying, we are basically Moderator free, but we have strict rules?

zwoti is most likely lurking.....you don't see him....but he is there....in the shadows.
