Quoting:
Is it just me or does it seem like we are loosing people or is the message bases too diverse? Last year when I first joined I can remember logging off say at 11pm and if I was the last one to post on a thread it would allready be on page 2 the next morning  ::)  Today the pre 70s and 70s boards are moving ultra slow. Only the 80s and the game show boards seem to be doing really well. (dont get me wrong every base has its moments, the 2000 seems to be going again with the  advent of the slim shady/wierd al debate. There are alot of old regulars missing too  :'( what happened?

but People assured me that this time of year is the slow season. There are things to do outside and yardwork to be done (Gulp! I have been putting this off for sometime now I had better get on it) so this was the general feeling:

My guess is that it is the beginning of a seasonal slowdown.

It always quiets down a bit around here during the summer.  Most of us in the States have had a long, cold winter, and now that warm weather is here we are taking advantage of it and going outside.

I also know several regulars live in "tornado alley" and are being plagued by dangerous storms.  Some of them, while happily escaping the actual storms may lose electricity or phone service for hours or even days at a time.

I wouldn't worry too much.  This place will get busy enough in time.  :)
