a little bit slow in here

The discussions seem to have moved to underneath the stories - some of them go crazy on there. But it would be good to see some silliness and general mayhem back on here.

Could it be a manifestation of general internet fatigue? I'm told blogging isn't what it used to be.

History repeats. It's a Tower of Babel thing.

Good idea. People could have whole conversations like that. This is where you either agree or change the subject. Or skunk emerges from under Crackersville's trailer.

The comments option was bound to cause the slow demise of the forums. Video killed the radio star, didn't it? Ya cain't stop progress, Orville! Certain members can still cause a commotion on the forums though. Step forward NWB, BG et al.

Yeah, you wouldn't know a ruck if it fell out of your rucksack!

Your no-holds Bard brought an early morning smile, Albert :O) While I'm posting I just thought I ought to add a well deserved thank you to FTSE for the fabulous Track function, which, I presume, he added to ABC. I had no idea what it was at first but now I can't imagine how I ever managed with out it. It not only reminds you where you've been but also allows you to track other writers that you admire. Great job FTSE!

I remember many years ago, several members on these forums said they awaited gleefully my conversion to the socialist cause. I am still here and yet I am still socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Does that mean it has all been in vain? jude

It means you have found the Middle Way jude.

Repent, woman, repent! Your name is on the list come the revolution. I can get it removed but first you must repent.

No thanks, I'd rather take the bullet if it's all the same!
