Weekends are notoriously slower so far as posting goes. And as a check of the stats will show, even during the week it's not unheard of to occasionally see post totals in the signal digits. But as a check of the stats will also show, page views are well over 6000 today, so people are reading the boards - they're just not offering many replies. It happens.  [snow_wink]

I've just had a long talk with everyone, and they're not coming back unless they get more money.

I just haven't posted as much because I've been busy and most of the current topics haven't stimulated my interst. But I still check in once in a while.

I really SHOULD be around more often.......instead of watching the news which only makes me want to shriek when they start talking politics!!!  [snow_angry]

I wonder if the Collins clan were Federalists? [stfl]

where did everyone go?

So, are you happier today, David?  [snow_smiley]  61 posts so far and counting. Plus the return to posting of two members we haven't heard from in a while: Angelique Wins (welcome back  [snow_happy])  and ILuvBarnabas  (welcome back  [snow_happy]). (Three if we fudge a bit and also include CyrusL (welcome back  [snow_happy]), who made a few posts on Monday (forum time). And four if we include Darren (welcome back  [snow_happy]), who posted yesterday.)  [snow_wink]

And, of course, thank you to everyone who supports the forum. It wouldn't be half as much fun around here without you!  [snow_cheesy]

I always hit "Show Posts Since Last Visit", and each day, there are no more than a dozen new posts.  How could there have been sixty today?   Is it that there's another section for paying members?  If so, is that always where the vast majority of the posting goes on?

Check the stats page (via the "More Stats" link down in the "Forum Stats" section of "Dark Shadows Forums - Info Center" on the BoardIndex page), Magnus. There were actually 70 posts for March 6th (the forum has already switched to the 7th, but that's an entirely different issue and how/why that is has been explained a few times on the Testing board).

Nope. There are no such sections.

Well, then, MB, explain to me why you told me I have to keep sending you ten bucks a month if I want to stay a member of this illustrious board?  Huh?
