"Reporting for duty" sort of.. you asked what happened to the lounge and i couldn't agree more.. asked myself the same thing actually and what do i see a couple of days later.. this thread..
I see the same thing on other forums.. no one wants to talk anymore.. likes has replaced conversations..
i agree about the likes button replacing conversations though
like as many posts as you want but also join in the discussion
Which forums? Both the major swedish forums has lost 70% (generous geuesstimation) of its activity, over here its the same..
The only thing i can think of is us fossils dropping of since we dont create threads anymore.. back when i was new i would create a new thread everyday, hence interacting with new people.. my thirst for knowledge drove me to make friends so to speak..
I would like it to be that way but deep down i know thats just bs.. i will wave my cane angrily while pooping myself a little bit but i blame ****ing facebook.. thats just information fast food.. everything gets lost with time and there are no stickies.. it encourages stupidity and shortsightedness and people put no energy in their posts because they know it will be lost.. the links they provide big fn surprise still leads here or other real forums but half of them are broken or missing pictures due to lack of upkeep..
If you look at this place many of the people who became legends once gathered under the banner of mfk..
PM system.....I spend as much time PM'ing people as I do posting. Remember - just because you can't see the conversations, doesn't mean they aren't happening
....on a Ranger in the forest and there's no one around to hear him, does HE make a sound?????If a tree falls....
I don't visit many sites but the couple ones I do outside of mfk is always full of people. I don't know about any stats or info about the states as a whole
And if anything, maybe this thread will just remind everyone to be chill and not so quick to jump downKittiee Katt 's throat
Because the fish hobby is a small community.i'm like the exact opposite, lol. i come here to get away from the bs in real life and talk to other fish nerds
why is that?
again, why's that?
If ya think it's a little slow in here, go out and start a thread about something, man. There will always be people around lookin' to talk fish![]()
Because the fish hobby is a small community.
And judging by the threads, fish hobbyists aren't very diverse.
