At the least should be a 'who the fuck are you' warning. We seem hostile to newbies but we're really not.

you probably should. the next time this place dies we will lose more, some of us may even leave before then.

Why do you talk about yourself in the third person mongers? :huh:

Are you sure about that? Our "nuclei" of posters don't seem to be leaving when the board crashes.

NEW People??   :unsure:

I'm afraid... be very afraid!    ;)


Sure, invite them in. The worst that can happen is if they don't like it here, then they'll severely mock you, and ostracize you as their friend!  :cool:

That nuclei has been shrinking for years. And the effect is magnified the smaller the board gets. It's not just the loss of the poster that left, but reduced activity from other posters who interacted with that poster regularly.

Sure but I don't think board crashes really have much to do with it.

There were several that took the opportunity to leave when the old board crashed. A few popped in later(but not for long).

There's always a danger when a lengthy enforced hiatus occurs that some will realize they don't really miss the place.

Who? :unsure:

Besides, we should be happy for them :)

So the last 34 people to register with languish have made a total of .... 83 posts, 53 of which were from  Count and Zanza's replacement accounts.   :hmm:

Ok, so all of my efforts came to naught; I think I managed a to persuade a mate to read the Ed Anger/CCR lawnmower/mancave thread and thats about it.   :hmm:
