You know what's sad?

That the post announcing my Guinea Pig names had more hits than the moderator's begging for registration.

Just an observation.

No surprise-we like you!

Actually the main guy here managed to piss off a fair number of people before he sat down in his director's chair. Doesn't really matter that much to me as long as they leave this forum alone though. I don't think most people here would tolerate any more "improvements".

A few years back, this board managed to receive hundreds of posts per day and many times the hits..........much of the information here was useful too.

I don't know what motivated the owners to alter the entire paradigm.

Whatever it was, it ran off more people than I can remember.

Yeah, I think the old setup drew people in because it was a bit unique in the way threads were displayed and all. Making the site just like every other message board out there with the latest change doesn't really give much of a reason to pick this place over tons of others.

Well said.........Mr. nobody...........

In addition, because of the way the message titles were displayed, we actually could respond differently within titles and/or messages.

I thought it was better the old way.

Is having Guinea Pigs for pets at your age. I'm tellin your landlord about them.

Wow, thought I was the only one who still thinks this format sucks. Nobody's fault but my own, but I still use dialup and can't possibly find the time to weed thru all the posts for something interesting. If the main topic or original poster doesnt catch my attention, it's lost in the shuffle......kinda like this post and replies.......hehe

Hey, at least there is still AA where the old style format lives on and loads real fast on any speed connection. I can scan 5 catagories of posts there in the time it takes me to read 5 posts here. Many folks from here post more there now anyway. Ya, they were real smart using this format.......maybe they actually wanted to break the old gang up. They may have thought it became a personal hangout for 15 or so of us. Maybe they were thratened with lawsuits over all the comp trading we did that subsequently led to a boost in CD sales.

A few weeks ago there was a post about the top 10 reasons this place sucks. The format would have been #1 on my list.......that and no Uncle Gimpy!

Thanks FP:
That linked post was amusing..................but, by the time I got to the end of it, I was already tired of the SOS.

I see some things never change.


Personally, I have never missed him. It might have been different if he had actually offered us anything productive.

I think the thing about threads and subjects is a true criticism. The thing about that was, you could tell (more or less) from the subject headings when a subthread had started, which ones to read, and which ones to ignore. In this format, that's just impossible.
