Why is it at times this place is hopin with posters eager to speak and spend more time here? What causes it to lag and move slow with less excitment? Is it me, is it the moon, is it just the way things go, what the hell causes it?

*really seems slow at the present....and yesterday*.....proly me.
I've been lurking here, reading every single post, for about 3 years now, and I've noticed there is an ebb and flow to this board. Sometimes for months the posts are serious, full of scholarship and challenging points of view with a lot of mature feedback. Then the whole place gets fluffy, as though it's three in the afternoon and high school just let out. When that happens the serious posts get little or no response; it's like everybody over a certain age has gone home.
At least, that's been the rhythm so far. I think it has something to do with the fact that there are a finite number of topics that can be discussed in a closed group like this. Once they've been thoroughly hashed out, people move on with the recovery process in their lives. Then newbies come in and start the process over again. At any given time, the board reflects the age and maturity levels of the majority of posters.
Beans......LMfreakinAO ! Beer and Jehovah.....that was a doooooozy!!!

Willymyman,
In the LONG haul yes.....but not on a daily or weekly basis. One happy and jolly day here can be a snorr tomarrow. And about the moon.....that can't be it cuz the damn moon isn't full at the moment where MANY of our posters live. It doesn't matter that people are from the east and west.....north and south here....... because the "emotion" of the board is not dependent on locality........and yet it follows a pattern. Ok Ok.....I'm gettin too deep here
Just for those who think I'm a lazy white trash bastard....I ain't! I've been workin my arse off for my honey since 8 this morning and doin stuff......and now my house is pretty and clean.......so there! call me a lazy heathen, board postin, no life will ya?......
