Yeah the unfortunate thing is that while it was mostly true in the past, having a degree is not a guarantee of employment anymore.

[Obsidian]

But unfortunately these days, you need a degree to be considered for jobs that really don't require them.

[Scorpia]

did everyone's steam just die on them?

[Karl]

Good to know it wasn't just mine.

[Axeldeath]

I was cleaning, i dunno.

There is no coffee mug large enough to properly represent how incredible of a father Geoff is.

Mr. Blue: Hey here's something- Koach told me he thinks the forum is losing its charm, mostly because of mainline posting by a few select members in a few select threads

Mr. Blue: and not many new threads

W. Ludwick: i've noticed it too...what do you think?

Mr. Blue: I also think Accursed Farms is winding down from what it was in the summer

Mr. Blue: then again, most forums do through the winter

Mr. Blue: But insuch I do not defend a change for the negative. Forums always change, but its possible to be for the worse. Again though, the worst way to approach the future ass-forwards in fear of negative change

W. Ludwick: hmmm

W. Ludwick: yea, it's slowly losing it's charm. Why do you think it is

Mr. Blue: Maybe not everyone is posting at the same rate as we are.

Mr. Blue: encourage others to post less frequently; like waiting hours or more between posts, or if they already do, only browse once every day

Mr. Bluer: If people are resistant to that suggestion, refer them to the Addicts thread

W. Ludwick: so you're saying our incessant posting is intimidating newer members?

Mr. Blue: Maybe even more than that, frequenters that have less access.

Mr. Blue: not everyone is a sit-at-home all day. (And I wouldn't say incessant is the right word)

W. Ludwick: yea i'll do what i can in that regard.

[Karl]

I'm not sure frequent posting would intimidate new users. If I want to say something or give my opinion, I'm going to, whether I'm new to the forum or not.

[Axeldeath]

It's the forum games fault.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I personally think we have a lot of active users, and I can only look forward to next summer.

[Collective Foal]

Wait, what happens during summer that is different from the rest of the year?

[Kirkreng]

What happens in the Summer stays in the Summer.

[Collective Foal]

So... There's an Accursed Farmer convention in Vegas?

[Blue]

No, more kids have more free time, thus the forums are more active.

[Axeldeath]

It's Summer now, man.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Well, you live in New Zealand.

[Axeldeath]

New Zealand is where it's at sista.

[Alyxx Thorne]

We have a winter coming in Norway at least.

[Obsidian]

No better time for cuddling than a cold winter in Norway ;D

 

Anyway, in regards to the posting limitations, I can't see that having a good impact on forum activity. They would definitely make me less active just because I wouldn't want to deal with them :-\ Especially since I mostly post in the forum games, where posting frequently is something to be expected of any forum with a sub-topic devoted to those threads. I think the slower activity may be partially due to the time of year; even though it's winter and many stay inside to stay warm, I have a feeling a lot of members are busy with family activities (tis the Holiday Clusterfuck, after all).

 

As someone who's been with forums from the start to the end, I can say things aren't looking bad enough here to claim the sky is falling.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I agree. I mean, it's Thanksgiving now and soon we have Christmas and new year celebrations. It's to be expected that the activity goes down a bity.
