benjamin1945 16,279 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Despite the number of members going up,the number of 'Posts' seem to be dropping,just wondered if you all had any thoughts on this ? The political thing obviously had an affect,but i would'nt have thought that alone would have made such a difference.I raise the question because ive enjoyed my year on the 'Forum' and want to see it flourish,so this is not a moan,i'm trying to be constructive. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I had noticed it was abit quiet lately benjamin. It has happened before, then all of a sudden it gets busy again. Ithink we must all go through our quiet moments at the same time, causing a slump in posts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,794 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 With a general election on the horizon & not being able to make poitical comments doesn't help. Having said that, I am not griping about that BEFORE any mod wants to jump in ! Could be lighter nights drawing in luring members to thier local Wetherspoons ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,529 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I hadn't noticed anything unusual in the number of posts. As carni says, there are busy times and quieter days. I don't think there are fewer posts than in the past. Looking at the bottom of the Home Page 79 people have logged on in the past 24 hours; that's a fairly normal rate of activity. Quantity doesn't equal quality, and in the past we've seen occasions where a large number of posts have been generated by a small number of people who want to be the centre of attention. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I joined in January and this site is brilliant. New members are being welcomed regularly. As a recently joined member there is so much to read on all the threads that it is taking me a while to explore all of it and I guess this is the same for others as they join. I have learned a lot and experienced happy memories. The quality of posts is excellent and it is quality that counts not quantity. Lets be positive! 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Over the years I've been on forums, I've noticed as spring comes, so do members posting slack off, people tend to get busy when the weather starts getting warmer and spend more time outdoors. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
