Finally scratched that itch I've had to comment on some old posts in Group Readings.

(Making posts to revive old threads doesn't daunt me one bit; it's just that I gave up the idea of using lots of quotes in those GR threads, so that I could drive up post count instead.)

I'll see if I can dig it up, can't remember when we did that.

And it looks like we are going to avoid the dreaded Lowest-Monthly-Post-Count-Ever thanks to Team Mallory and an especially energetic final burst by the sporadic-but-prolific Cord Hurn (note my current title, which is based on this phenomenon

Yay, 2600?

Nine more to go, Linna!

YAY, TEAM MALLORY! :nanaparty:

Haha, I am proud of you guys.

We've avoided the lowest post count ever, which is currently June 2014. We'll even manage to crack 1600, so get going Linna, you only need 5 more.

In truth, they were only sleeping rather soundly...

I bumped up the "Sentence game" in Mallorys for her, Av, to give her some extra encouragement! (I think she likes that one!

Haha, 1638 guys. Missed our target by a bit, but c'est la vie...

Hey, at least it wasn't our slowest month ever.

And anyone who doesn't care for our 'filler' is welcome to start a more engaging conversation. Please do! We had something near a record low in new threads started last month - only about half of what we had even last month.

Saw that! You have to go all the ways back to June '02 to get a lower number. A fair few of our prolific 'New Topics' starters were on low activity last month (Vraith, anybody!). I post a good bit but I don't start that many new threads.

(Realizing what I wrote might sound a little snarky; it wasn't intended to be.)

A tad, but not aimed at me, I know

Hint: you can edit your previous posts for snark, you know?

Post by **Sorus** » Tue Dec 01, 2015 11:37 pm

I know, but you'd already posted after me, so editing would leave an 'edited by', which I would have felt compelled to explain as Snark Removal, and everyone would have been left wondering what snark had been removed, and after all that it was probably better to just leave it as is.

Yez; I have been becoming convinced this kind of reasoning often goes with forum community best practices...

And yez, we should do something about the content-sparseness, but I believe we are engaging in context-modification (getting more conversations with each-other, even if a lot are soooort of duller than they could be) which -can- give us a more favorable context for future content.

It's too early in the morning for me to process that.
