Less Activity on the New Forum ?
Since the site changed over to the new forum, there seems to be a lot less activity. I'm not sure if people are finding it harder to use, or they're just getting lazy. The new forum has good points and not so good points. I like how much easier it is to access the last page, but I'm not happy with picture loading, still we can't all have what we want.
Anyhow I wondered what other people thought about it and why they are not using it as often as the old one.
Yes Wirral, lack of anything interesting going on, you say. I think you have the answer to my question there. Every day I click onto the forum, I don't see any new topics, just replies to old ones and most of those have long past their sell by date. What is happening to people, are they all in chat or just not wanting to communicate in any way with their fellow man anymore.
Yes I think the old front page should never have been changed, most people would prefer to keep that part, if nothing else. Change is not always for the the better, but the new format obviously generates more revenue and that's all any site owner is interested in. Sad really, but that's life and we just have to accept it.
It is good to have the site updated, but it would have been far better to incorporate a few things like the home page into it. Never mind, I suppose we shall become accustomed to it in time.
i don't like the new format at all and find myself not using the site as much. it was better with the top ten or so on the home page not having to search by subject and the fb layout who's friends with who etc stinks along with the uploading of pics ~ the only photo i have
is my profile all others of my wife and i keep getting deleted ? ! and no they are not distasteful or pornagraphic.
I still contribute to the Forum but I don't log on as much as I used to. The site generally not as much fun to be on as it was in the past. It is now rather cumbersome and harder to navigate. I hope TT1 is still working on upgrades.
Personally, I do log in somewhat less frequently due to practical details, but nevertheless find less and less reasonable things to comment on. Never been a big topic starter, but happy to comment and throw in any advise, should there be need for such. Lately nothing of substance has reached my attention, so been quiet as well. Maybe all the worthwhile topics have been already discussed???

There is also the annual end of summer fall off. Every year around this time things get quieter for a while.
Well searching back through the forum of 12 months ago, I see no evidence of that. And as the days are now getting colder and shorter, more people are spending time indoors on their pc's.
