Why is the board so slow lately?
« on: August 04, 2007, 02:29:33 PM »
Is it cause Mel's on vacation or something?  LOL  :) Where is everyone?  I see people here, but hardly anyone posts!  It's not like I sit here all day just skulking around the board, but whenever I do come lately, there's hardly any new posts to read.  What's up?  ???

I have no idea. I try lol but seems the only time people pop up is when I make a survey or something and I am running out of original ideas.

I love when this board is active, the discussions are great on here!

But I also know that it tends to be slower on the weekends than during the week. Who knows?

I know, we need a new survey!  Or a new writing topic to discuss.

That is true... probably people are just out having a life on the weekends!  Hahaha

I guess we just had the sequel survey LOL... but still, new surveys are always fun!  It is hard to come up with ideas for them though.

Well, I guess I'll just jump in on this convo!! :) I've noticed that as well. I love it when we have something to talk about, and we get all into it, and then it just dies down and then silence descends. Julie, maybe you should post your "ghost" picture again so we can have a hott discussion about it. Lol.

I got it!! Well, it wouldn't belong in this thread, but lets talk about the weird people all of a sudden activating accounts on this forum. I've read your thread to the newbies Mare and noticed this weird thread posted by someone. And I've noticed that most of the new people have these weird names and don't post anything... *gasp*, could they be... SPAMMERS?!?

Yes we have been getting spammed like no one's business! It's actually like a big game for me. See if I can delete their accounts before they post about the wonders of viagra! Gah!! it's so annoying.

Gosh!! I know hate is a strong word, well I truly DISLIKE spammers. Lol. Especially on Myspace, my god I just want to slam my head on the keyboards whenever I see a comment or a message from a spammer. And they're getting smarter too, hacking into people's accounts and all that. It's sooo irritating, I swear!! I can't imagine what you're going through Mare, but it's people like you that dedicate your time in making the forum a better place!!  ;D
