General Chat

When I used to come on at about 8.30 in a morning, about 2 1/2 years ago, I used to scroll back to when I signed off at 18.30 the night previous. There used to be 10 pages of threads to read, and that was only on General, not counting Chat. Now your lucky if there is 3 pages.
I hope we can interest some new blood after the holiday, who have interests different to ours, that we maybe can take a new interest in.
Everybody have a nice Christmas and New Year.

I'm here Ann!!
I tend to pop in and out. I think these days, in general, the boards are more quiet/slow moving than they used to be. I know at the moment everyone's probably busy with Christmas and all that, but I remember at one time you couldn't look away for a few hours and you'd have missed pages, they moved THAT quickly!!!
You're right, it would be nice to see some new peeps join us in the new year....fresh topics and all that.

Thanks Julia, it used to be great when you couldn't keep up with the threads didn't it?

No, Ann, you are not talking to yourself. They are my sentiments entirely. Today has not been a very busy day on here, or Chat, but I suspect that that is down to people getting ready for Christmas.
Lets hope for more contributions in the New Year.

We got a lot more members posting on here, either new members, old members returning or those who just read and don't post. I like to pop in and out when I am doing things and have a chat and/or a read and it gets so frustrating when there is nobody posting so the threads are static. It is not the time of year although that doesn't help, it is how it has been for quite a while. Or am I, as I often am, talking to myself?
