I've been experiencing posting apathy, but then, I've been experiencing extreme apathy in general, as a side-effect of these meds.

I've had a case of who gives a fuck for a while now. Things were better when forum politics were still fascinating, when I'd only heard Cal once, when I thought more people wanted to use this place to fight, when Lucifer posted more of substance than sex banter (or maybe that was my imagination), when people found me more interesting (it's all about meeee :-P ), and when less of the cool people were apathetic.

The new influx of people is good though.

I was going to reply to this thread earlier, but....  eh.  <shrugs>

The scary thing is that this is how I felt just now.

Yeah, I skipped it several times, this morning. I gotta plus Telsabitch for making the words happen.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

yep, mea culpa, and all that.  i used to post things of substance, i dare say, but i come on here to play now - i have enough stress everywhere else in my life, so this is where i come to entertain myself.

sorry if that doesn't suit - you can always engage me in debate on my thread.

Yeah, all these newbies are good to come on board!  It gives an alternative to all these mid life crises happenings/sexual banteringsgoingons yadda yadda yadda.  My wife does find them amusing looking over my shoulder,  however, sooooooo............carry on! :laugh:

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, so I haven't hit my midlife crisis yet. :P

Actually I'm surprised that you hang out here at all, since I thought you were originally against this place. Or did the promise of attention overcome your inhibitions?

sorry if that doesn't suit
:laugh: I seriously doubt that.

I suspect that some of it has
to do with the quantity of posts.
It's far easier to skim when there
are a lot. Harder to give a shit.

It will come to the point where one
might even want some order, to help
group the threads that one is most interested
in.

But, growth is like that.

I have already mentioned this. I don't know if it is feasible, but some software allows a member to create a custom homepage view of your favorite articles or areas. I don't know if this set-up could be adapted or not.

There are mods to SMF that could probably make browsing here easier. Some might be worth a look if we continue to grow.

Most of the mods work when the testicles have dropped. :P

I have to agree.  When I first came here in May I think it was, I was working from home on short projects and I had the luxury of spending lots of time here and was really engaged.  Now work is full throttle, I come here really to relax.

In addition, I've noticed that a lot of people have been 'off' lately.

What are you implying???
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.
