I know. I'm at a loss to explain it. Must be a phase we're going through. I know no one is deliberately avoiding us.

Unless they are.

Maybe if we use more effective deodorant and mouthwash. :-)

The good news is that around 25 or 30 members login every day though only about half post anything. I guess the other half are just reading which I can understand.

I am concerned that the Watch traded away Sgt Null for me which is a bad trade. Null was (and hopefully will be again) a much more prolific poster than I am. ;)
I have a feeling that I'm thought of as the "Mallory's Guy" which I don't mind however I spend time in the games forum more than anywhere else because there are more posts to respond to there than anywhere else. If 50 people were posting in General Discussion every day I bet I'd spend most of my time there instead. :P

If that's true, the person responsible is a traitor. Who doesn't want us to hit 2 million?

Collective ennui starting last November? That's how I felt, anyway.

Sarge would never willingly forsake us. I blame Facebook. Not for any particular reason, but I haven't blamed Facebook for anything yet this month, and it's probably overdue. Either that or Mrs. Null is withholding the promised hotspot in the hope of keeping him all to herself. Or they got a new puppy, in which case they owe us pics. Or he was abducted by aliens. I can speculate all night, but hopefully he'll appear with the real story.

Upstairs neighbor's plumbing is messed up again. Or they're torturing a Wookiee. Either way, it'd better not come through my ceiling this time.

Why the heck would anyone be stupid enough to collect their dog's crap in a bag when they take it out for a walk .........then throw the bag into the bushes instead of disposing of it properly in a bin! On a cliff path walk with E. yesterday the gorse hedgerows were adorned with said bags that fools had dumped there instead of carrying away. For heaven's sake - either leave the crap where it is (nature will see to it) or carry it away properly!

peter, I can't understand it either. It makes no logical sense.

This forum loads so slowly for me, and that deters me from visiting more often.

You said that the last time I said it loaded slow, too.

But it always loads slowly for me. Much slower than other sites I visit.

I don't notice the forum loading slowly, at least not initially, but I do notice from time to time that it hangs up when I post...sometimes for 30 seconds or more.

I don't know if that's the site being sluggish or karma for all the posting I've been doing. :-)
