Why has this site gone so slow/boring?

welshchocolatelover

Sorry, don't mean to be negative but a few years ago I'd log on in an evening and there'd be a good few pages to scroll through for the days activity. Now there's barely anything. Has something happened that I've slept through?

(I'm sure someone's going to cyber slap my wrists and move this post elsewhere, but actually it is only this forum I am referring too as this is the one I tend to look at first )

You've been here since October 2007 and only made 327 posts !!!
That's an average of just 0.12 a day.
We can't keep this place running on our own. Why don't you help more ?

PMSL - because I have a full-time job, young children, husband, dog, house, life. I post when I find something useful to post about.

You don't need to wait until you have something useful to talk about.
The rest of us come out with all sorts of rubbish.

It really has gone slow. Its almost died. Things like the lego thread used to have deals on it almost every day. I logged on several times a day to grab some bargains but its dried up. I'm not sure if its because the site has dried up or because there aren't as many bargains around anymore or because mod's move subjects to different boards.

This is the only board I've ever really used and no I've not posted much recently or even ever but I used to use it alot. I still check every day.

I see people getting shot down "Thats not a proper bargain" and I wonder if that puts people off too.

Maybe its just a combination of them all!

Yes, you certainly ARE the only person on MSE with those commitments. Well done you.

I'm not sure at which point I said I was the only one on MSE with those commitments? Well done you for pointing out what I can't see :beer:

Maybe. I have to say, some of the responses I see certainly puts me off.
