Hello, hello! *tapping the mic* Is this thing on?
 

I am interested as to why Delta Drive is not popular anymore? Your thoughts?

Hmm. Not sure. I'm constantly lurking, though. lol

Intro thread and random thread are the only threads here that got much play. I guess wait for the new lines to come out and when folks are feeling more random. :)

Other than that, I never know (nor care) what forums the threads that I read and post in are in.

Same here, but not moved to post as much.

Yeah Random Spurts is where I do post the most. Guess I need to drive around GC city more to other locations.

The economy. :(

Too expensive, eh?

I think the trolls / perps have been warned about the responses they will get when they post stupid stuff and / or the mods on Delta Dr. have been much faster to shut them down.

I have also been doing more lurking and less posting lately. Mostly because when I do open a thread, much of what I would say has been said, so why post it again.;)

I honestly believe that Facebook plays a role, too. It's quite addictive and a very good timewaster if you're bored at work. Also, maybe people have found jobs or have remained with companies that have downsized, so they're really too busy to come on GC. That honestly happened to me at my old job. I believe GCers will return again in the circle of "cyber"life.

I agree with this post

Please and thank you :D

Good question, being that this forum is one of two most posted-on GLO specific forums at GC, both of which are experiencing a significant decline in posts and threads.

I have noticed several reasons for this:

- Established posters retiring GC to pursue other interests or life areas (marriage, family/children, careers, etc.). This also ties in with the fact that most of the established posters are much older now then when they first joined GC (7-10 years).

- Low turnover rate of GC posters (newbies replacing established posters who retired from GC). I have also noticed that newbies are more likely to lurk rather than post, my theory is that this is at least partially because the more saavy one may not want to risk being labeled as a troll/perp because they are new and doesn't want to risk asking a questionor making a comment that may be flagged as inappropriate.

- Message boards as a whole are being seen as antiquated compared to such social media as blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. With the new decade at hand, the younger would-be GCers are more likely going to think that message boards are "so Noughties" (read: "[20]00s").

- Frankly, the temperament of too many posters still here at GC has gotten to be so sensitive and "snarky", for most newbies to post something and have to weigh heir words very carefully to avoid being flamed, simply not worthwhile.

- For established posters, most of the meaningful topics that we all have had something to say about, already said.

(side note): Personally, I would like GC to have a feature that automatically locks or deletes threads that have been without a post after a certain period of time (6 months to a year would be reasonable). I have seen too many newbies get flamed for not doing a search on a previously discussed topic, then if they revive an old thread that has been discussed, get flamed for reviving an old topic. A feature that deletes old threads automatically will mitigate this double standard.

I don't know if this forum (or any other GLO specific forum) will get the same momentum it did in it's glory years (2001 - 2005), but I'm sure it will get its share of "random spurts" from GC alumni stopping by to visit, and those "GC Poster Returns threads" will make this forum's glory years all worthwhile.

I am starting to see what you mean..Sheesh:o:D

Yet you got smart and figured it out on your own, assuming you honestly came here for that.

^^^Can you enlighten me on why you think I came on here?:confused:

To not go away when you should.

Oh I am sorry, I didn't know that Dr. Phil was the only one that can post on this message board. You should have said something earlier...silly:D I would have left a long time ago:).

Not really sure where the chip on the shoulder comes from, you seem testy in a lot of your post. But I understand people can be that way on message boards. The best be with you.

Be Bless! Godspeed! And all that good stuff:cool:

tl;dr

5 lines is too long for you to read??:confused::rolleyes::)

IRONY.

I'm sorry you didn't get the memo. Yes, this is her board and the rest of us post only when she allows us to.

I'm saying...

I can't even leave a post for MY sorors to read when they come by on OUR Founders Day...

*straight face*

I lurk on Delta Dr.
 

Having a bad day? Don't use my post to make your point--my intent doesn't lend itself to it.

Let me shut up. Dr. Phil is perfectly capable of fighting her own battles if she so chooses.

ok.. fair enough... my apologies

You mean OUR Sorors (note: with an "s" at the end) on OUR Founders Day.

You insisted upon a dumb back and forth in the other thread and missed OUR Soror ladygreek's sarcasm in this thread. Fail.

^^^Just SHUT UP and let it be done with. You are the messiest bitch I know! Besides she did have an "S" on it. You love to start mess, get a life you egostical, no class having, BITCH!!!!:rolleyes::mad:

Are you bothered? Angry? Care too much? Confused?

Try not to be.

^^^She talk like this cuz she can back it up.....She got a big EeeeeGgggOoooo- Oh. Oh. LOL
You mad? Tell em why you mad son! lol. I'm guessing y'all know each other like that, but if you only e-know someone why get so pissed? idk. Pent up e-anger is never good.

Peace,


I REALLY agree with those three points as well as everything else you said man.

Sockpuppets?

That was my thought exactly! :D

i was hoping for a troll :(

And the OP wonders why Delta Drive isn't popular? Here's why:

And there you have it! I rest my case!

Uh...oookayyyy....how is Kappa Blvd is doing?

And you deliberately came back to visit GC just to respond to this? How sad.

He wouldn't know. He didn't post over there.

So, um hi everyone. Hows life? Everything cool over where y'all are? lol.

*reads posts after mine* you know those posters that everyone calls an idiot and after lurking and reading for yourself you totally agree? ....yeah....anyway...

heeeey!
