Any old-timers out there???

Mad Dog · 08-26-2002, 06:40 PM

I have only been on this forum for 2 years now, but I've noticed that the seasoned veterans from when I first started are all gone. In fact, sadly, I can barely remember most of their names. A forum that used to be full of genuinely interesting, thought provoking posts has become troll heaven. I know there are still good members who make legitimate posts, just the percentage keeps going down, IMO.

Well, it's like this, the forum switched to a new server a few times I think and it was months before it came back on line but most people have a short attention span and went else where to hang.

Have you ever had a favorite bar and then it changes a bit, a new crowd comes in, usually idiots and the regulars come in, look around and then leave and find another place to feel comfortable with. But there are many that still come by but rather lurk than have to fight for some elbow room at the bar.

if you check the ages of many of the new faces here, they MIGHT be hitting puberty. Driver's licenses?......HA
