Well said, Absynthe. I've been on message boards/bulletin boards since the mid eighties and have seen this trend before. There is a natural ebb and flow to conversation. We all speak from what we know and what we care about. Many of the board veterans may either lose interest or get a life. Real life does intrude.
I'll do my best to be jovial and witty in my posts and responses. hehe In about a month, you'll be sick of me. As for the smiley faces, I don't use them because they seem to be a crutch for a lack of description. I'll go into that at a later date. ------------------ "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant." -Robert McCloskey |

Okay, as one of the apparently despised "new" members, let me say that I find the attitude of some of you older people personally insulting. You act as if this is rightfully your board, and that we are just getting in the way of your fun.
I am not stopping you from posting whatever the heck you want. Go right ahead. But don't just sit there, whining about the loss of the good old days. Post away!!!!! |

If you want to discuss wood, then start a thread about it If you want to tell jokes, then start a joke thread If you want to talk about music, then start a thread. But please don't complain that the threads that are there are not to your liking, that insults those of us that like those type of threads, and we are not complaining about the less serious threads! ------------------ Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig I've got to admit it's getting better, it's getting better all the time Bossman of Better Funny Stuff.....of the Laughing Hyenas! |

I don't think you got the message at all its not about older members disliking new ones or any such crap, but just about how the forum has changed, as it inevitable will, and is it what people want? Ziroc puts a lot of work into this place, but even so the more users there are, the more the board will diversify and for those that came to the board when it was a smaller closer knit place, they feel differnetly now. Its the same with so many things that become popular..they have to change to accomodate the larger user base and often the people from the early days become disenchanted. ------------------ Holy Avenger of the OHF and part time Pinguindiebjäger [This message has been edited by Sir_Tainly (edited 10-09-2001).] |
