I agree that some are on holiday and some have farms where they are busy harvesting at the moment, I think they must be really interesting or addictive, or you cannot leave them because of cyber-animals and crops need tending all the time.....

Yes I think they are quiet to .........

But I have a thread going on Chat and have been told by one person that the 26 post that have been put on there are enuf and cover everything ....

so with that attitude its hardley suprising that people dont add...

At one time we use to go of on a tangent and chat about alsorts on threads that were ment for a certain subject .....now days we post and thats it .......

So I guess its down to people having been scolded and abused and got at ..........

lol Lesley.... I belong to a couple of other sites (nothing to do with geneology!) and it can take a couple of days for a new post to go up, on one of them, so this isn't too bad, not really... just that we are used to a couple of years ago, when all the posts moved so quickly...... I couldn't keep up, then, so missed a lot of what was going on... at least now, you have time to read through and catch up... and add an essay, without finding your post is no longer relevant cos the thread has added an extra 5 pages worth of posts, lol ;¬))

Love

Morning Daff, I tend to agree with you. There's some interesting threads, just that they're very slow :)

Morning Lesley, morning Jean, morning BC!!

I do think the board is quiet just now... chat is quieter, as well.

I don't think it is boring, though... I have been quite busy lately... but always find something of interest when I come on!!

As has been said, the holiday season is upon us, the weather has been excellent until the last couple of days....

How are you today, BC... have you almost recovered? Poor wee soul, so very traumatised, she was as well!!

Love

Daff xxxx

I think General is slightly saggy at the moment, Lesley, for want of a better word and not wishing to be derogatory:-) t. Part of the problem is that a lot of members migrated to Chat and then those on Chat have discovered Farms, so, bit by bit a bit of 'Life' has been drained out of the Boards.

For instance, I had some quite alarming news to tell the other day and,normally, I would find Hayley or TW so they could commiserate with me. In their absence, (something to do with harvesting numbkins I think) I fell on poor Daff's thread and offloaded my woes. Now that would never happen in the 'old' days...lol...but I was duly comforted in my trauma:-)

I think a lot of the lack of input is due to folks being on holidays and of course the lovely sunnny weather we have had , usually we are unable to get out because of the rain, so why sit at a puter when the sun is shining....

grinding to a stop? Are you getting bored by it's slowness or are you quite happy with the pace and the discussions?
