The Board Seems To Be Slowing Down... (page 2)

Skyman..I will have to go and look at that thread!

Some long time dedicated ex-dubs for whatever reason don't post here anymore and the board hasn't been as interesting since, IMO. That's life I guess.

How long has this board been up? Most DB only have a lifespan of 4-5 years. Also will be a resurgance with "new light" you can only rehash so many times. Also i am more active in the winter than the summer and the weather has been nice.

I just looked at the BigBoard stats and they seem to confirm what Danny said. If I read them right, we'vre had a low but are now upwardly mobile (even though we are slipping down the rankings!).

Plus I couldn't get on here yesterday after 10.45pm UK time - I just got the 'busy or broken server' message (dunno if that has any significance to how busy this site is or not, just thought I'd mention!).

I come here every day but I rarely post.

I wonder how many of us are spectators more than participants.

This board has been my life line. I hope it continues.

I think some of the ridiculous and nasty threads turn people off. I know it makes me embarrassed. I've been trying to convince a few JW's that non-JWs are not evil and not bad people. I got one to come on here and check out the board but when they saw the name-calling, they didn't bother looking anymore. I think the best posts on here are the ones that intelligently and irrefutably present undeniable evidence or at the very least, turn on a light bulb of realization. I'd like to see more of that than the bitterness. I can understand the bitterness. I understand that some peope use this board to vent and others use it as an opportunity and know others will check it out...I guess it's kinda hard to find that balance for everyone.

Exactly, i know some one else who has had just about enough of it. I personally came here to find out how people are coping with leaving the orginization to help me personally deal with it.

You weren't too bad, but someone else really was. Very insulting and hurtful. I thought some things that were said were pretty cruel, and I would never do that to someone.

I believe everyone is getting ready to Auxiliary Pioneer in April. Due to the great increase in publications, I would suspect most are doing their annual inventory to determine what can be placed at Laundromats vs. what they actually need to attempt to sell.

This would be my suspicion.
