this site is so dead lately :(

ac97gt · 08-11-2003, 08:18 PM

i dont get it. there used to be lots of posts and even responses to posts. i go to other mustang sites every few hours and there are more posts that are "new since you last logged in" than i can possibly read. here i am lucky if in the few forums i participate in there are even 3 or 4 total for the whole day (modular, street racing corner, blue oval). i dont get it, is everyone just not around for the summer or somethin? i think this is by far the best mustang site out there and its sad to see that its lacking in the forum dept (as compared to other sites)

mustangII460 · 08-11-2003, 08:28 PM

Kinda wondered that myself.

Its been real slow the last month or so.

Alot of threads have a couple of responses. Or a few thread with a dozen or so.

Maybe "Back too school" does has somthing to do with it.

ac97gt · 08-11-2003, 08:41 PM

i just hope it picks up again, this is depressing.

Hethj7 · 08-11-2003, 08:44 PM

This was kind of covered in another thread not too long. It is just summer time and more people are outside. Dan said this is typically the slow time of the year for the boards, although I agree with you both...it has seemed especially dead around here the last month.

Dark_5.0 · 08-12-2003, 09:01 AM

All of the top posters have left the site for the most part. I can log on once a week now and read all the new post in 3 minutes.

I spend most of my time in Windsor power now.

Most of the mustangworks core group is now gone.

But hey I still like it here.

StangFlyer · 08-12-2003, 09:10 AM

A lot of it is just that this is the slowest time of the year any ways... There's a lot going on in the dead of summer with events, shows, races, family outtings, summer activities and a lot of people don't get online nearly as much. Traffic has always been slowest on MW at this point in the year. It'll pick back up... it always does...

I think I'm part of the 'core' and I still post...some...not as much as I did before. I read alot though. I try to contribute when I can.

Where did the core of MWers go? I remember when a B303 vs E303 cam thread would go 3 or 4 pages!

It'll pick up sooner or later.

I know what you guys mean. Even I'm not here as often as I use to be. I know where many of the regulars are spending most of their time (but I'm not telling

)

Oh well, gotta go flush the dirty radiator. Later guys.

yeah, where did they all go? is another site stealing them? its time for a DoS attack

Dark_5.0 · 08-12-2003, 04:54 PM

Ha ha ha.

Nicely stated.

Maybe people are finally using the search tool in place of asking the same questions.....

Crazy Horse GT · 08-12-2003, 11:56 PM

i only get on my pc every 3 or 4 day's now, i used to stay on it, it will get better.

PKRWUD · 08-13-2003, 01:03 AM

Quite a few MW regulars post on our forum (http://www.RiceHatersClub.com) daily, but I'm only aware of one or two that don't come here as well, and they left here for stupid reasons. I'm very busy trying to keep RHC in top form, and don't get to other sites very much anymore. I still make a point of trying to help out in the MW Tech forums a couple times a week, but I've only replied to a thread in BOL maybe 3 times in the past 3 months.

FWIW, I agree with Dan that this is a slow time of year. Before summer started, we were averaging more than 600 posts a day, but lately we've been down to around 400-500 a day. MW always bounces back, and I'm sure it will again after the summer is over. maybe sooner!

Take care,
~Chris

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 08-13-2003, 02:09 AM

Im sure it has to do with the summer. However I stopped coming here for awhile but im gonna be back in full force again

Hethj7 · 08-13-2003, 02:56 AM

Funny how a post about how the site has been dead is getting a lot of responses

. Looks like many of us are lurking around here and just haven't posted anything that has grabbed everyone's attention lately.

aford50lx · 08-13-2003, 09:13 PM

Hey ive been gone for a while,but i would not call myself a long time member but i too remember when a new thread would get alot of hits too,but not now.Maybe its like the rest of you stated its the summer or something.For me its been me rebuilding my ride and my dads passing,but im back again,and im telling my story about my car in another thread so far i havent had any responces,but thats cool,hey maybe nobody cares or nobody belives what i have posted.In any case im gonna keep on posting and soon put up some pics.Maybe than ill get some responces.I still like this site and think its the best.I also like the rice haters club,although i dont post as much on that site.I like reading about all the other posters and the "regulars" they in my opinion are the best of the best.They are also on the ricehaters club website,and i really enjoy reading their stuff,i just hope they post more here is all.

MTU 50 · 08-13-2003, 11:52 PM

Yeah, I think the summer has a lot to do with it. I know I have been pretty busy lately and when I am on the computer I spend most of my time trying to find a damn job.

Hethj7 · 08-14-2003, 03:58 AM

I have always known about RHC, but never really paid much attention to it. I just cruised on over there and was suprised to see several people over there that I never see on MW anymore. But, like Chris said, a lot of them seem to frequent both sights. Just a handful of names that I don't see on MW anymore.

fiveohpatrol · 08-14-2003, 10:18 AM

its all Dan's fault for getting rid of the post count!!!

lol, I figured that would start up another B303 vs E303 type flame war

I also agree about the summer comments. I've been really busy with work, school, and racing, but I still try to come on everynow and then.

My last year of college is getting ready to start, and since I'll be working on campus (if you want to call that work), I'm sure I'll be posting atleast 10 a day then

no worries guys, MW will always remain the best
