Like Viz, it's not as funny as it used to be.

It is a bit w@nk to be fair.

Other parts of the site are as good as ever, but the humour and diversity of the P&P that used to make me smile and laugh out loud have gone.

RIP P&P.

I'm also missing the randomness of old (proper) P&P .... didn't post there that often but always a great read

That was great about the old P&P, you never needed any other news/dicussion site as anything of real interest was usually discussed there.

The other problem is in the lesser forums like TV and Film there is bugger all traffic but loads of interesting threads get stuck there. I expecting the "Legendary Guns" thread to get chucked in Engineering matter soon.

Its fair to say its not going well at all. Browse some of the sub-forums and look at all the topics that would have previously flourished into multi page behemoths under the P+P banner, and now warrant one or two lacklustre replies (If any at all) before dropping off into obscurity.

If the P+P was a party it would have been a 3am post pub house party where everyone was hitting it hard, this place now feels like the same party but when all the booze and drugs have run out and no one has really got much to say to each other anymore.

Thirded! Familiar names popping up at some odd hour....just made everyone feel connected anywhere in the world. I just don't understand why they won't just change it back. Now it is just like any old forum. frown Nobody will look at it as a defeat to their idea but as an appreciated move. The reunion and traffic surge would be a sight to behold!

I agree. Jimbeaux, XJSJohn, me and a few other random world citizens used to have a jolly good time before all this.

Fourthded! (Or something)

If it ain't broke, and all that. I have no idea why it was changed - I was away at the time. Was there an explanation of any sort?

Always look on the bright side.

I even asked about whether or not the new system was working but my thread on this was locked!?!?

Has a reason been forthcoming or are we all being effectively ignored?

Makes you wonder if they even want the traffic?

Fitheded hehe

I loved the old P&P so much randomness and checked out a fair few obscure threads i wouldnt otherwise take time to search for, now i only look in the lounge and its just not as fun. I liked the "i've fked my relationship" to "who has the best offise phone?" jumping and the stupid responses people gave.....I even posted a thread in the Jobs & Employment section to which i have had 20 odd replies, I bet this would have been alot more and the thread alot funnier (to perk my day up) if it was in the old P&P.....BRING BACK THE OLD P&P
