Correct me if i am wrong, but this is a place to chat and make posts? So why just view and not put a post in. Even if its just, Yes i agree, No i like it better now, or :)

I have one post with over 200 views and not a single comment!!

Yes it is a quiet place now :s

Would the fact F1 is pretty boring and the number of fans going to watch has dropped would be the reason that sites like this are quieter??

I had a rant on this very topic a few years ago, and also didn't get a great response.

You are right. There are only a few regular posters here. It is not rewarding.

For a while I dropped out because my idiot, useless, good for nothing moronic son did something to my old computer which for some reason blocked this site. A new computer and I am back, but noticed a lot of regulars have gone by the wayside.

I don't belong to other forums are they all getting more quiet?

I will try more myself.

This site was populated by ex-5 Live message board posters, 9 years ago (crikey, I feel old...). It's not surprising that it has gradually become quieter and quieter, particularly with all the bickering I recall. I was probably guilty of a lot of that too...

I don't know how I had the time to rack up 12800 posts...

Yes there was a lot of bickering and a lot of really antagonistic people. But it was very vibrant and it was something one did for an evening of entertainment.

Now it is more like a small time news paper. I do notice from the number of views versus comments that still a lot of people do visit the site and view. You can tell from the "Give Us A Laugh" section that even with no replies there are sometimes over 100 views. I know what you think, 50 of those is me looking at my own posts again and again. But still.

It is a shame more people don't post.
