A slow down in this site

Geezer · 02-26-2009, 10:32 PM

I've been on this forum since it's inception. At first, I found a lot of new posts each time I logged on and clicked the link for unread messages.

Lately, it seems as if there has been a slow down in posts. Some of the most frequent posters haven't been posting much and I don't see too many new ones by people just coming to the site for the first time.

Is it just me or has things slowed down a bit - maybe a lot?

These are the stats. Ugo has 860 posts and he and and a small number of others are responsible for most of the activity on the forums. I am only an occasional contributor myself with 20 posts but I have certainly noticed this slow down in posts recently. I think it's just the nature of things, when something is new people tend to use it more.

I would think that Danielle's site would not be easily found by a casual surfer for porn even if they found FTV. If there was a link to it on the FTV Tour page making it clear that the her forum is free we might get some new members.

It fell flat on its face! I dont poast as much as i used to. I kinda have to watch what i say because of amanda and i. I dont want to upset her. Missy just dosent get on any more after some one made a smart *** coment to her in a pm. Im not going to repeat what they said but it was not nice. Maby whyyou could start a story thread and see if it will take off this time? Just a thought!

It's like having all the relatives over for Thanksgiving dinner. At first everyone has a lot to say however after a few beers (drinks) and a big meal, life slows down.

I know that when I 1st logged on here there was this neat little corps of folks (WhyYou, Ugo, Ryan, LeoRex, Tigger, laranger and a few others). Ryan, I think, was the first to disappear. I seem to recall he was having some difficulties at work, so maybe that had something to do with it. LeoRex disappeared at the end of 2008, although I've noticed he does get on at his MySpace account (my own MyS account gets precious little attention from me). Those spaces have been filled by a few others (i.e., Geezer, grande351, Anoree, et. al.), but the "feel" of the board did change. I don't get here as often as I once did. Life happens. In my case, I have family members who are moving, another who is retiring (sort of), and a couple others whose health has had me increasingly worried. For what its worth, I barely have time to do those other things I fill my days with, so its not just Ms D's site that I've been missing out on

. I do know that there were times when folks got their feeling hurt or were offended (and I suspect some of my long dissertations didn't help--I tried to delete some once upon a time so as not to give further offense, but it was too late--of course there were some things written by others that bothered me, too). I did like the lightness of some threads, as well as the deep conversations some of us got into, but with my increased absences, I've found it hard to sort through all the threads, picking out what I read before from what's new and making sense of it all--makes my poor li'l brain hurt sometimes! But I've been around enough to have noticed the same thing those folks who posted before in this thread did. One thing I do want to make clear though is that while I was wary of this board to begin with, I came to thoroughly enjoy it, and now that I have less and less time to spend here, I find myself missing it and wondering how all of you have been. Cheers all!
