Postings seem slow lately..
« on: September 15, 2008, 11:02:05 PM »
 
   Postings appear to have slowed dramatically; is it because of the hurricane ?
  I would not downplay the gravity of the situation, and my heart goes out to those affected; however it seemed to have slowed for
  a couple weeks now. It doesn't seem to be confined to those who live in storm ravaged areas either..perhaps the slow down is  just
  a "seasonal" thing, since it doesn't appear to be happening with GB alone.    Comments ?

I don't know what you are basing that judgment on but it's an incorrect assumption really. If you go to the bottom of the Forums Index and click on MORE STATS the click on the month of September you can see that it's been a very busy month for new topics, new posts and new members. It's gonna exceed last month by a good deal if the current rates continue. I'll try to post a copy of it below but am not certain if it will work. Yeah as I figured it didn't turn out to look like a chart. I don't know how to make it look right but the numbers in order are: Date, New Topics, New Posts, New Members, Most Online and Page Views.

August totals are at the bottom and as you can see we're rapidly approaching those numbers this month already even tho we have a long way to go yet in this month. We'll exceed 26,000 members before the month ends and likely exceed 27,000 by end of year.

Sorry about the misstatement GB..Glad to hear it's not so..This is my most favored site on the web.
  Must be it only appeared that way from my own posting replies.

It's easy to assume such when you only visit a few of the many forums on the site as any one or more forums might be slow at a given time. But site wide things are hopping along quite well this month.

GB. Here it is. Dale
