Ab Is Very Quiet Lately

[hammerman]

Some of the more popular threads are very quiet....has everyone moved on ? Hope not, love this site

[Psybbo]

I suppose everybody is busy

[Fusion5]

All the lively people have been driven away I feel. Such a shame.

[factor-fiction]

No- Ed said recently we have approaching 300,000 active members. I think most people are just busy tonight

[factor-fiction]

Why would anyone who's 'lively' be driven away? It's far less hostile than in the bad old days

[Psybbo]

Hey Fusion, are we just boring old farts? :-)

[mikey4444]

Hammerman....It had gone very quiet for a few days, but its picked up beautifully today !

[Arksided]

Yep they've all moved on and left the infirm, not caring that we can't change the channel on this microwave.

I'm here, just home from work and about to cook a meal. But yes many are away with relatives for Christmas now. One or two are in hospital and a couple are a bit too poorly to post. Merry Christmas to you all.

"Popular threads are very quiet" - an oxymoron surely, or possibly a paradox.

[wolf63]

Does the active member count include all the trolls/spammers who visit during the night and post gibberish in foreign languages?

It is quiet just now but it will pick up after the festive season when both Christmas and New Year are over.

I am off to wrap the selection boxes (Felix) that I got for my kitties. Then I think a nap, today started with a trip to the vet - always stresses me out, I don't think Frankie likes going either. :-D

[FrogNog]

Ahem - clears throat - It's Christmas.

[ummmm]

The trolls and spammers get banned so it wouldn't include them.

I don't think anyone has been driven away. If they have then they are probably too sensitive for the internet.

[Mamyalynne]

Well LP has been constantly updating all day on my screen.


Sorry we aren't lively enough for you Fusion.

Yours

A N Other Zombie.

[Arksided]

^ as I said just the infirm left. ;-)

There are faces dispappearing every day for one reason or another, it's that nature of these types of sites. There have been folk driven away for many reasons, usually when little groups become friendly they get theclique crap thrown at them and they take the fun and nonsense elsewhere... That kind of thing kills sites like AB.
There was a thread last week abot your favourite Abers.... few comments in and someone, can't remember who and I can't be bothered looking, pipes up "that sorts the cliques out" .... that's the kind of rubbish along with the fun police, grammar nazis etc that can kill places like AB problem is... them *** are everywhere..;0)

PS Psybbs...xxx

Oi Ark - I may be disabled and half blind but there's life in this girl yet!

[FrogNog]

Speak for yourself Arksided.
I still have most of my own teeth.

[ichkeria]

If AB has 300,000 active members then whatever activity might be driving people away doesn't seem to be working.
This is a pretty civilised and sedate forum.
Thank goodness

[mazie]

It's Christmas Eve Tomorrow, lots of people wrapping presents, baking and preparing for the big day... Oh.... And Merry Christmas everyone xxxx

[FrogNog]

Slapshot are you able to answer anything without some negativity? AB IS cliquey, but that's fine and it's quiet because it's Christmas. Mine doesn't start until tomorrow and I'm procrastinating my arris off on here as it goes.
Like ummmm said, if this forum is too much for them they are not ready for the internet.
