I would like to first say that I love this place and the people here are cool, intelligent and fun. Most of the posts are always interesting, entertaining, etc. This place is my “online-home” so to speak, and I like to think of everyone here as friends and neighbors. Now comes that part I don’t like to say: - Is it just me, or have all the forums been boring, as of late?"\* I have a simple theory as to why this happening. People are tired of the delays during mid-day hours and posting has dropped significantly. The past few weeks have been, well, like a can of flat soda, or a mug of warm beer. There’s just no zip, no tingle, and it isn’t very palatable. There’s a few bubbles, here and there, but one really has to search to find them. Can we all please, find a way to bring the fizz back to our threads? :rolleyes: ---

I’m sorry you feel that way. I’ve been having a great time, especially in the Pit. ---

I don’t see a problem with the boards either. Although I was gone a few weeks. Maybe things got stale because I was gone and now it’s better cause I am back 😃 Okay I pulled that outta my ass, but seriously I think it’s been great. ---

It’s because I don’t post as much. 😉 ---

Frankly there hasn’t been a good old fashioned flame war in the Pit for awhile. Come on people ! We need a nasty knock-down drag-out slobber knocker !! Just, ya know, don’t involve me. Actually some damned GDers came into the Pit the other day and proceeded to almost tidy everything up. _Get your stupid debate back in the fancy-pants forum, and don’t come back here until you can throw some curse words around like so much feces !!_ Its just sad I tell ya, sad. Other than that I can’t say I have noticed too much of a drop in “fizz”. But hell, I’m only around in the middle of the night so I miss most of the good stuff anyway. ---

Check out the “I’m Having Serious Wolf-Ass” thread down in the Pit. It’s seriously funny and downright clever at times, unusual for the Pit. **Scylla’s** post scored 6.0, but the contributors boosted it to at least a 9. I was laughing out loud several times.
