There used to be so much going on here. All sorts of interesting, fun, daft and risqué threads.

It was so fast moving, you read some pistes and there were literally dozens of contributions refreshing the pages in double quick time. You could spend a couple of hours on here and it never got boring.

Now! Posts are dwindling, the same old threads stay on the front page and interesting posters no longer bother, why is this?

Why not not come up with one. Maybe a poll on how many back doors the average PHer has smashed in?

Many posters who were active in a particular thread just seem to have gone.

I fear many have had enough of the arguing and angry people who roam around looking to start something.

Are you missing the Posh totty "Women of pistonheads" thread ?

Shame it got locked. That thread had more to give, I'm sure. smile

You need to go to the video games section, it's 'appening over there.

The good ones are all trundling around the M25 in 320ds. Some joke providers are still banned after a whole year for telling a clean joke.

Or that the Mods (Only one or two) are too worried that they may end up in the media, like the Mail or MumsNet, the big hitters.

Yes, they both swing large black rubber ones but I'm not dictated by them.

weekends have always been slow, weekday working hours are usually the busiest.

I suspect that the economy picking up has meant more people are having to work rather than post crap on the interweb

I agree. This is a prime example of an unnecessary move of a thread. Should've stayed in the lounge to get a wider audience. More over zealous moderation.

Anyone posting anything that doesn't comply with the general consensus just gets shouted down, abused or called a troll.
People here dont seem to understand that you need different viewpoints to have a conversation, 6 lonely fat men all replying'yes I agree fully' to the first post does not a fun forum make.

I'm obviously alone in taking scant notice of the subforum structure.

Other than having deselected all the one-make and football forums that I'll never read.

I just click "what's new" and see, erm, what's new.

Perhaps everyone is over in the new Secret Lounge where anything goes.......



I'm also wondering why has this topic been moved? confused
