No, this doesn’t belong in ATMB… here it is, 3:03 AM, and I’m going through the SDMB’s forums, looking over the thread topics, and for some unexplainable reason, I’m not posting. I’m just not clicking on any topics and reading and responding. Why? I haven’t a clue. ---

Because all the threads suck ass lately. Is it me, or has the quality of threads been going downhill lately? Maybe all the good stuff has been done? We all know one good reason threads aren’t as funny lately. But there has to be more to it. Even **aha** who once held a shotgun to a kitten has not done anything crazy lately. So, I ask “Where have all the good threads gone?” ---

I’ve been here almost a year, and it does go in cycles. And you know, you don’t have to post every day or even every week…heck, you don’t even have to read it every day. Don’t worry, in a couple of days or weeks there will be something to spark your interest. Or - if we’re really boring ya - you could always find another message board. Not that I want you to go, but sometimes a change is nice, no?
