Those that have commented about the forum being a bit slow at the moment has also mentioned previous cycles.
Now to me that says that although they think it's slow at the moment, this has happened before when other members were here (including themselves).
So for any newer members - don't take it personally. It isn't personal.
Now personally speaking I don't post as much because I feel the forum is changing in a way that doesn't suit me or my personality.
I remember when I first joined the site I would be sat reading the forum and crying with laughter. I don't do that very often nowadays.
I don't mean that as a personal insult to anyone, and I think a lot of it is down to the number of people on the the forum now - you don't get the same level of banter/opinions with 30 people as you do with 300.
Again, that doesn't mean that the 30 people on line are not as good/funny/interesting as members of old - it just means there's less diversity and the threads don't move as quickly
