Where has everyone gone. Since I was last active everyone has vanished. This place used to be extremely active and now its like a ghost town. What happened to the regulars and the top posters.

The lounge used to be active like every twenty minutes and now its as dead as JFK.

Seriously dude where has everyone gone. Have they found somewhere better or is forum life becoming a thing of history. Even the mods are inactive. And Torana she is always online well was.

Torana is away and will be for the next two months for a start off.

but for God's sake, can people stop moaning, please! This is the second thread along with millions of other references about how dead it is here. tough, it happens, people have things to do and sites often go though a slow period. so please, lets just try and post as much as we can, or want to, and get on with it.

I've been busy, and now I'm apathetic for some unknown reason.
Sorry.

Heather Louise
11-20-2007, 09:24 AM
Aye, and maybe because they have other things to do. As i understand, people do have lives outside of the forum. And what good is posting this going to do?? What you do excpect any of us members who still do come to be able to do exactly?

Lycos

Why are you been aggressive. Its uncalled for if you have nothing polite to speak Don't say anything.

Heather Louise
11-20-2007, 09:32 AM
I am sorry but I am not being aggresive, just pointing out a fact. We cannot do anything about the people not being here, and we cannot help and make the site move faster. So please, please, stop complaining about it.

I'm here in the background - just don't have the time to post (except for this one obviously) at the moment. I'll be back in full force at the wknd, as I'm sure will others - It's abusy time of the year what with people going back to school / college and the like.

Banzai
11-20-2007, 10:12 AM
And as for the rest... I ate them :D

Heather Louise

Were you really that hungry :eek:

You could have just made a peanut butter sandwich. Much less messy.

Cogito

Some of the "top posters" have had other temporary things come up recently. I've no doubt they will return.

Banzai, of course, has no excuse. Just because he has a job now, I mean sheesh, how lame is that!

Every forum hits slow periods. It's a simple fact of life - the fact that people do have real lives, and have to prioritize their activities accordingly.

As for where people have gone, those who choose to announce it usually do so in The Come and Go Room. Other than that, we respect people's privacy.

I have noticed that boards from time to time slow down. Heck the board I own and run is down to 10 members. Can't seem to attract anyone else. But it will pick up again probably as soon as the bad weather really hits.
Everyone I hope does have a busy life in the real world and nice as this one is the pay is not all that great. We all need to eat.
So come and go as you can and will. Drop in when you get the chance and if you finish that novel and get it published remember all the little people who knew you when you were one of the little people.

Cogito and Lessa are right. Some people are just too busy.

And Heather, I know you were stating your opinion, which hey, I agree with but it was coming across as a little agressive so I don't know the reason behind that but I saw it as a little agressive even though you were rightly stating your point.

Besides, there are plenty of posters, they just actally post their work up and not hang around the lounge like me!

Welcome back, Eoz! Even if you're only sort of back. :)

Sort of welcome back, Eoz :p

Hopefully you aren't feeling out of sorts.

Sort of back? Doesn't matter, glad to see you popping up again!

Heather Louise

And Heather, I know you were stating your opinion, which hey, I agree with but it was coming across as a little agressive so I don't know the reason behind that but I saw it as a little agressive even though you were rightly stating your point. aye, sorry, I know. it just annoys me a little when people just complain when things are working exactly as they want it to. People should just grit their teeth a bit more and get on with it rather than pointing out stuff hat we allready know and can see for ourselves.

Either way, sorry for being so aggresive, it wasn't intended. :(

I feel sick... I think I ate too many people...

You ate someone who didn't agree with you?

Lemex
11-21-2007, 10:13 AM
I havn't been on as much due to a few things...
1) I have some personal things to take care of.
2) I've been asked to join a band and have been playing like crazy.
3) After an argument with another memeber on this site i've felt less and less enclined to come on.
4) Collage work is far too demanding.

Kit

Awww i'm sorry too for not being as active lately, i've still been on in the background and logging on regularly just not had time for as much posting.

With the amount of coursework i'm doing, the revision for my upcoming exams and the number of hours i'm working... its hard to find time to do anything I actually enjoy nowadays.

SeaBreeze

Is it me or have the regulars completely vanished. Anyone know what’s happened to Mr Hulls Raven and Queen Torana. Both have completely vanished.

Banzai
11-25-2007, 09:58 AM
Hulls is currently organising his move to the Falkland Isles, and Torana is sorting family business or something similar. I think...

The Reaper
11-25-2007, 10:01 AM
The Falklands is such a strange place to go. Ah well who Am I to say what’s good and bad. Just one could say this place is very empty with both of them absent for such a long period. I can assume you know them both then.

Banzai
11-25-2007, 10:37 AM
Yes. And it is eerily empty without them.

lessa
11-25-2007, 12:11 PM
I would love to visit the Falkland Islands. I read a bit about it a number of years ago and added it to my list of places to visit. certainly hope he will be happy there.

Kit
11-25-2007, 01:00 PM
It is quite quiet without the two of them but its not dead yet.

Could do with some of Torana's craziness to cheer me up though! :p

Cogito
11-25-2007, 06:57 PM
No indeed! Although I greatly miss them both, there have been plenty of new members and plenty of writing to review. The lounge has been quiet, but that's just the social mecca of the site, not the entire site.

wordwizard
11-25-2007, 08:48 PM
yes it is quite dead around here, but it makes a good time for writing rather than catching up with the crazy converstations. So I guess there is an upside to the quiet forum ;)

SeaBreeze
11-25-2007, 09:05 PM
Torana will be away for a while. It's unlikley that she will come back before december the 9th but I'm not sure. All I know is that her laptop finally died and most of her story got wiped from a bad virus.

Kit
11-26-2007, 11:13 AM
Awww that's pretty bad, tell her I miss her alot and I hope she sorts her story out.

SeaBreeze
11-26-2007, 05:39 PM

SeaBreeze
11-27-2007, 07:16 AM
Yeah. I'm pretty broke meself... Oh, got a message from Torana earlier on. She's coming back tomorrow but I'm not sure if she will be able to jump on the forums. She may be able to pop in though.

Cogito
11-27-2007, 07:26 AM
Awesome! I hope she can.

11-28-2007, 02:46 AM

I was abducted by Banzai for the last two weeks but your Queen has finally returned to you and posting like never before lol

I feel so special cause after reading this I noticed you all missed me :redface: awwwwwwwww tis all good people I am back now and the forum shall be brought back to life you just wait and see lol :p:p

Lmao welcome back. I miss him too...

Torana
11-28-2007, 06:38 AM
I figured it out Kit...

He bought you the most awesomest and expensive chridtmas present and decided that he needed a human shield/s for when he gave it to you at christmas time and so he randomly kidnapped some of us forum members think ing that none of you would figure it all out and cause you began to realise we were all missing....<because he kidnapped the members that post the most stupidly> he decided it was best to let me go and throw you all of his sent.....now I am going to be murdered for letting you know his dastardly plans!!!

<I need my stupid rock. Has anyone seen it?>

Cogito
11-28-2007, 08:18 AM
I think Raven borrowed it.

Or maybe it's in the cookie jar. ;)

Hang on... Banzai what are you doing holding other females hostage????

Welcome back hun

She was gonna be your christmas present, Kit...

Torana
11-28-2007, 08:29 AM
Well if it was in the cookie jar then he is bound to have it....I must go on a hunt for Raven and get my rock back....

It just doesn't feel right without my rock to hide under when I say stupid stuff lol like right about my rock would come in hadny :p

Torana
11-28-2007, 08:30 AM
She was gonna be your christmas present, Kit...

Yup I was cause I am just so damn special and make everybody smile and laugh and he wanted to make sure you always had me to be there to make you smile and laugh and yeah isnt he a little sweetie? :D:p

Well, you know the old gospel song:
You know, I went to the rock to hide my face
but the rock cried out, "No hiding place!"
:D

Torana
11-28-2007, 06:36 PM

Was that an Acme 10 Tone Anvil?

Oh wait - you're currently in China. Would that be a wonton anvil then?

<Drops an anvil on the piece of paper>

NO! Now how am I supposed to hide under the piece of paper Dom? You are nasty. That piece of paper never did anything to you! ><

Ravens doing just fine. Nope he hasn't returned to the army nor will he. Nope he isn't ill. Just right now he's finding some well deserved peace. He'll be back, he always returns.

In the meantime you have regular Mod Cogito to count on and the rest of us.
