As in, do you feel its slow? Just right? Fast? I feel like its slow. Seems like it takes a day just to get a decent amount of responses and I wish it was a little more active.

Once I get back to OH, I will try to reduce my Internet usage by about 75%. It is hard to 'catch up' if you only come back once or twice a week.

ratbastid

I don't post enough.

Plan9

The staff has been trying to shut me up since 2007.

Not even third world countries can stop my bullshit.

I think I need to post more entertainment or technology articles.

I totally feel like this. Having only found people capable of discussing these things I find the pace drives me a bit crazy. I'd rather have it and be slow than go back to not having it, I love this place... alot...

KirStang

TFP is unique in that you have a broad swatch of very educated individuals from diversified backgrounds giving genuine input.

Although I agree that the pace is a little slower than I'd prefer, I'd imagine educated and smart people have things to do besides post on here. Except me. Cuz i'm totally a slacker.

/slack.

nice to see you rb. I was wondering about you this morning when the thoughts of the polyamory lifestyle came to my brain...

I think it depends, we have a steady stream of traffic. It's really about people deciding to jump in and participate because they are engaged on some level to discuss something. If there is nothing to discuss, there's nothing to respond to.

I agree with Kirstang, I'd rather have 10 well thought-out, intelligent posts than 100 "omg, like t3h OP is a fucker!!!!1!!!one" responses.

Plus, if you count all of plan9's edits as a post, he posts 25 times a minute.

Did you know that at least 20.4 new posts are hobbit related? True story.

How many posts are "I want to post pictures of my cock but only in a place where guys can't see because that would make me gay"?

Most of the boards I used to frequent have shut down, become ghost towns or shadows of their former selves.

So, the steady action on this board gets no complaints from me.

I've got a much higher success rate with thoughtful responses than posting threads.

My own threads are absolute failures in most cases. I try and try... but still suck.

It appears many people here are the same way. Their forte is in analysis and debate.

It does seem pretty slow lately.

Like some of the other posters, I vote for 'amount of decent responses' rather than 'decent amount of responses'
Then again, your wish is that it were a little more active - I don't reckon you were regretting not being able to wade through and ocean of "'kyea +1 d00d. Werd"

I don't post 'enough'. I regularly come here with intent to post, start reading, and an hour later, have been magnificently entertained and educated, and have FORGOTTEN to post. In 'real' life, I'm the guy who, in a group with whom I am comfortable, I am silent - not meaning to be unsociable, in fact, feeling just the opposite.

That Ass Hair thread, for example ... It had been resurrected since I had last been on. I was too tired to censor my viewing, so I read through it until my horror and fascination disappeared like things do when you don't blink. Then something cracked me up so much, I just HAD to record it as audio.

But knock-on is different from posting. I Do find it difficult, sometimes, because, without feeling modest about my own qualities, I'll read down a post here, and breathe an appreciative sigh, and feel there's nothing I need to add ... most perspectives I would have given have already been given and a lot more great stuff besides.
However, Zeraph, you said that your wish is that it were a little more active. I'll commit to posting a little more often. I've been thinking I should, and thanks for the motivation.

All the best

Yeah, quality counts. I'm sure I post too often, but I think it's better than not posting enough. Though I do try to stay away from the £337 and such.

If I had a nickel for every time I've posted here...why, I'd have over $500!

I'm not smart enough to post here more. This beats another forum I frequent in maturity by far... but I am addicted to posting things in English, this is my brain workout, even though I have nothing brilliant to say, I'm hoping to maintain some brain activity by using foruming as excercise.
