It's been dead on the board for a while. I can smell the rotting posts.
Not that I can do much to remedy it. There's no real exciting news until later this month. Then there will be a rush of new Joel pics, new stories to tell, new squees to be heard...

I wouldn't stress it. We're a small board, we can't be as active as those other fancy boards with their gold-plated topics and diamond encrusted threads.
I do wish some of the newer members would post, though - I see them, I know they occasionally stop by, but nothing! Is it my breath? I'm curious about these guys! Are they here to squee? Are they here to observe? Are they Brains in disguise? And ilovejoel - who's her favorite Brain? I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS!

I know...it's like my Anime Club at my old school where like 30 people signed up and less than half that showed up regularly. XD; Post, random people! (At least the awesomeness is coming in 2 weeks! ...but that's a long time. <__<)

For me, it's the fact that most people are also members of the MST3k board/Social Network or (in Big Stoopid's case) the CT board, which I've been browsing of late. When I have something interesting to say (a movie write-up, for example), it's starting to feel like I'm just copy-and-pasting my discussions and putting them on the MST3k board, the CT board, and here, which gets kind of old. Any of those places lend themselves better to longer discussions since they have more members, so this site is the one that suffers.
That was pretty long-winded.

But that's when I was putting a fair amount of effort into this place and popping in a few times a day, and it got lonely `round here. So I cried out in the wilderness, no one came running, and I got devoured by wolves man !! So there ! ( Actually, that was just a silly run there and not meant to be an analogy for recent tussles with other boards, which I just realized it might seem to be. Oh for . . . now why'd I bring up that crap ??. Don't start thinkin' about that now ! Let me get back on topic and things should be fine . . . as long as I remember to cut out this whole section before I post ! ) The fact is, while the CT board is gettin' good ( even tho' I find it's "mechanics" rather klunky ), and there's other boards I really don't miss . . this is the one that really feels like home to me. It's certainly the most genuinely friendly, and therefore the fun resonates much deeper. If Capt. Hy thinks this place "suffers" in his attentions, I'd like to point out to him that he always strikes me as being his most "relaxed' or casual here, while no less witty & insightful. And the rest of ya' ? Always great to read your interactions with each other. And I'm still feeling perpetually hugged months after limping here from MSTy fields of battle. Sure , there's a bunch of nifty threads `round here that are dying like un-watered plants, but that could turn around. maybe '◡'

Actually, despite my member-name, my favorite Brain is Bill Corbett. Ohhhh - HUH!? Actually I'm the same way - Joel's the one I have my silly fantasies about, but Bill's the one I wanna be BFFs with. ;D BS, I think that's sweet that you feel like this place is your "home board " and I really don't think you should worry too much. This board...is made of more than words and codes and dirty pictures, it is made of ideas...AND IDEAS! ARE! IMMORTAL! (Poorly paraphrased from V for Vendetta. ) By the way, can I just say I love the CT forums? Everyone there is so freaking cheerful and easily distracted. XD It's like an entire board of Big Stoopids. ;D

I wouldn't worry about the board being dead. There could be many reasons for this. I know I for one, have been working more hours, so I have less time to spend on this board, and several other boards that I belong to.
Another reason could be vacations and such. Half my neighborhood is gone right now, and I'm dogsitting all week for a neighbor who is out of town.
It will probably pick up in the future.

I wasn't actually concerned about the lack of posts, lol. I mean, I mean, my activity has dropped too because I have nothing new to add at the moment. I just wanted to add something, but I couldn't think of anything other than to comment on the cricket chirping!

Aye, but ya' struck a nerve ya' did, lassie !
Obviously more then a couple of us were either feeling "I'm not contributing as much"
or,
"What the hell's with all the others here ?, they ain't contributing as much !"
or possibly,
"Jeez , this place is kind'a dead . . . . duh"
perhaps all of the above ?
( duh )

Where has Big Stoopid run off to? It would just suck if out of all the possible weekends, he chose this one to fall in a hole somewhere!

Aww, that's sincerely touching & warming n' crap . . truly !
I have certainly been checking here, knowing damn well what weekend this is. That shot of you BEAMING next to Joel is priceless, and your expressions conveys so much ( especially to those in this little clan you've shared so many . . .uh, . . thoughts with ! )
I must find this Deep Ape review . . I didn't look hard enough for the link I'm sure you provided . . and shall do so . . . . now ! >

My hard drive crashed for a while... not that I was really contributing much lately anyhow.
But hello! I'm still alive!

Alright !! Not a post for 28 hours ! ( `cept this one a' course ) Wha' hoppa' ?? What ?, did I stink up the joint over here ? Did the evil "Chinese Pornified Spam-Bot" find a way around Calandra's blocks & actually seek out living members and kill them all dead in their homes ?!Damn ! That would be a certain sadness.
