Strange fact...

Post by MetalAngel » Sat Mar 18, 2006 12:48 pm

...I can see since a few days : there is less people coming and posting on this forum. Can someone explain me why? Because, before the month of March, this forum has been fullfilled and dynamic...which isn't now anymore! And that's really disappointing! :? So, I ask :

WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE??

I understand the members have their reasons not to post all the time on this forum board, but I feel like alone sometimes...

Well, I don't find this is really boring. But, this situation, I mean the fact that this forum wasn't as lifefull like anywhen else is really surprising and very disappointing...I can't explain what is my real feeling about that. It's too difficult. And I'm not as good english speaker as I would like to in order to explain what my feelings look like...

But you should not feel that alone sometimes, cause you're not here.

You're absolutely right. And I agree with you. But, even if I live my parents, and cats, I feel very alone sometimes...And that's the same with the forum : sometimes, when nobody is at home and that the only thing I can do is surfing on the net, and you know how much this forum counts for me, because there I found strong friendship, and also something else (:wink:), I'm disappointing to see there is nobody sometimes in here, even if I know that people are in school or at work, as I do...but, that's strange. I don't like the feeling I feel when nobody is here. That's a bit like a desert and desert are scary... :shud:

Sometimes, persons just simply get bored of posting&give it a break. Sometimes we all just get busy. And, most forums go through periods of hot&cold. It's nothing to be concerned about.

I'm here at least once a dayif you need me. But since I don't usually come up with bright ideas, I can't keep making new (really) pointless threads.Anyway, maybe we are the ones left to keep this forum alive... I wonder: how many are regular posters? 30-40? out of 4800. Sad :( :( :(
EDIT: I believe it's something else also to blame for this "silence" It's a strato-silence period we're going through, and so many will probably think that they don't need to log in to check, at least until some big news arrive... I though I was the only Greek here, and suddenly 4 days before the show here, 5-6 old greek members appeared.

Shame it is thet everybody seem to disappear into the mist for quite a long time.... I remember the times that Cliff f.e. posted regularry day-by-day... many old buggers have been floating to be one of those once a week or so posters... it's sad :( but perhaps the chatter here is less interesting for the old folk or something... I've been around for a long, long time... joined allmost immediately in the moment this forum was born... and I'm still here to pain you :D but perhaps it's just that people are more and more busy with their own life... and perhaps this forum needs some fresh young blood (we forum-vampires would love that :twisted: or do you agree Morgana? :wink: ) to cheer things up :)

Dunno... I'm personally a type of moving out and in according to my mood and personal situation with my life... I was allmost completely off for allmost a year before returning for the latest time... :D so perhaps the same happens to some of the others too...

and PERHAPS I don't know myself what I'm babling anymore :D

That things are slowing down... no tour, no new cd, no dvd (yet), no solo projects, no big news, so all that is left is spamming and that sort of gets boring when it is the same thing over and over.

I had lots of exams lately, 3 more to come. Also there were couple of projects that I had to do, last one (Efficiency improvement of high-brightness light-emitting diode) was finished only today. So, not much time for forum browsing ...
