Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted July 15, 2003 Well, how come there's so few postings these days? Are we going through a post-drout? Serriously, it's kind'a bumming to come looking for posts, and only finding like 3 or 4. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted July 15, 2003 What do you mean that there are no posts any more? We average about 400 per day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted July 15, 2003 Then how come for the past 2 weeks, I've only seen about 5 new posts each day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted July 15, 2003 Then how come for the past 2 weeks, I've only seen about 5 new posts each day? We have had 216 so far today. And we are still coming in at more that 10,000 posts per month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 15, 2003 We had more posts this month then we did last month. In fact this was the most we've had in any of our 5 months so far. Monday was a slow day but most Mondays are. Last month we reached 40,000 on June 16th. Here we are on July 14th (15th but it's only been the 15th for 2 hours on the east coast) and we have 50,535. Besides, I would expect it to be slower in the summer while people are on vacation or at the beach or whatever. When I was building and selling computers a few years back summer was always slower then fall and winter. People just aren't inside at their computers as much.

Plus with Enterprise on reruns that would affect some posting too although we are still adding a good number of new members each month as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chataeya 0 Posted July 16, 2003 CJLP, You need to check out the post I started way back when, "BOARD?" :lol: :lol: It should give you something to do. :lol: :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted July 16, 2003 CJLP, You need to check out the post I started way back when, "BOARD?" It should give you something to do. :o :( or keep checking back on Red Alert, and don't worry, it is a story, so there CAN be a wormhole... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riaan 0 Posted July 17, 2003 It could also be the forums you continually check. I noticed the ones I frequent have slowed slightly, so I've begun checking other forums. Try using "My Assistant" and click on "Today's Active Topics". That will give you a list from all of the forums. You may find some very interesting things there. I have.

Takara_Soong 4 Posted July 17, 2003 Between midnight EDT and 2:00 p.m. EDT there have been 360 posts made on STF. Doesn't sound too slow to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I used to get stuck on TNG and the movies forums, but now that I keep up with all of the forums there is a lot to post to.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gotabite 0 Posted July 17, 2003 Probably the only place where posts are slow is on the Voyager forum.....But then unfortunately they have always been slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ezri Dax 0 Posted July 17, 2003 What do you mean that there are no posts any more? We average about 400 per day. Wow!!! I never realised they were so many posts! And well, summer is always a slower period.. for anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 17, 2003 Yesterday was the sites 5 month "Birthday" and we had over 11,000 new posts for the month of June 16th to July 16th. So last month was the biggest month for us so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Data 0 Posted July 17, 2003 I have only been gone for a little while and I have one and half pages of new posts. This place is not getting slow at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassidy 0 Posted July 19, 2003 Maybe people are posting on other boards; ones that you rarely visit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted July 19, 2003 Could it be that the little "Comm Badges" that show up for new posts keep "blinking out" before I can read all the new posts? This happens often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassidy 0 Posted July 19, 2003 you're probably right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted July 19, 2003 Could it be that the little "Comm Badges" that show up for new posts keep "blinking out" before I can read all the new posts? This happens often. Yeah that happens, I have heard it be called "the boards reset cookies" and it happens to me to. Solution? Between forums "The Promenade" and "Board Statistics" there is link to "Today’s Active Topics" I call it a Back up, you can find unviewed posts in there. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrskirk 0 Posted July 19, 2003 I just click on "view new posts" (upper right) and I always get several pages of them. Works on my home and work computers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Data 0 Posted July 19, 2003 I believe CJLP uses AOL proxy. The weird thing is that AOL will delete cookies while still viewing the boards. You will view one topic and AOL will have you setup like you read all the new posts. I used to use AOL proxy. AOL proxy is when you browse the web in AOL verses using IE or another browser. I believe PROXY is IE explorer or netscape which you have within AOL and AOL sets up the options for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
