Board Activity Decreaced?

Petrie brought up an interesting point a day or so ago. I have noticed a severe decrease in board activity since I joined about 3 months ago. I'm wondering if it's because it's summer time and everyone's living outdoors now. Has your activity on the board decreased? If so is it due to the weather? I know that the weather is irrelevent of me being here. I'm always on the computer. What about you?

Board activity decreasing? That is really no surprise, or any big deal. It's normal for board activities to fluncuate during the year. It's not going to stay the same all the time.

I don't really have any summer activities. Back in IL, I used to ride my bike during the summer, but since I moved here, I have not been able to because there's no sidewalks close to my house and we live next to a busy road.

Your activity on GOF has increased since I joined Darkhououmon. I have no idea why, but it's nice to have very active people like you here.

My brother and father are in IL at the moment for a job, so that gives me more access to the computer.

So have I. I've also noticed it takes about two or so days to get a reply whenever I post something in the Games section. But, I'm one of the more active members. I don't usually go out in the summer, except around sunset to evening.

I said in the other thread wherever it is that people get out and about in the summer months. Most people do that. I don't mind that people are out having a good time and are not here for weeks.

Hehe. I haven't gone a day without at least posting something here since I joined. I couldn't imagine going weeks

People can spend 2 minutes on GOF a day to post something. I spend more time here than I should and I don't think that anyone here should be here as often as I am, but they should at least be able to make one post a day, no matter how busy they are, unless they don't have computer access or something. If everyone did that, we shure would be an active forum!

"They should at least be able to make one post a day, no matter how busy they are"? Is it really that important to you to keep the board's activity from lowering?

Honestly, no one is forced to make a post here. There is no rule stating that each member must make a post no matter how busy they are. I mean sure, coming onto this board is fun and all, but there are more important things for members to worry about.

The Gang of Five does not come first in the list of important things to do. I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

Now here's something I can agree to. Then again, I'm averaging upwards of 9.5 posts a day, so I'm probably more active here than I probably should be....

Well, keep in mind that people have their priorities. I'm pretty busy offline and message boards are usually the last thing I think about. Just letting you know.
