Forumosa seems quieter, and not quite as frenetic over the last couple of weeks, since it last went down.
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to why?
SOP. This is how it works here. Its never been at a static level, but goes up and down in cycles. Now is a quiet cycle. Won’t last, don’t worry. 
I think it’s nice. After work I don’t have to come home and look through three pages of new posts. 
It definately gives me more free time.
True, I’ve had more free time to get other things done.
Like exercise and clean the house! 
it might be that so much is floundered and chaps cant be bothered posting
I think it’s because it’s so hot everyone’s just laxing in front of the aircon instead of the computer.
Summer schools starting soon. Just a guess. It maybe moderators bragging about quiz scores here, on certain threads too. :bravo: for them though.
I don’t understand why you feel the site is “quieter” - our number of posts per day have held up (approx 450 per day). Most I’ve ever seen so far is 500 posts in one day (last month). I think late last year we were averaging about 300 posts per day.
or by “quieter” do you mean less flaming?
Just feels quieter. Nothing more, nothing less.
I kinda miss the whining, “Why was my post floundered?” or the ever popular, “He/She called me a bad name” threads.
We might need some more, “I’m leaving forumosa.com and I want every one to watch.” type threads…those thespian dirtbags were always good for a high post count.
:s
Or maybe it’s because serious topics that generate interest also generate a level of emotion that this site won’t tolerate. I’m thinking of the “smoking” threads of late. That was an example of a conversation that didn’t need to get dissected and floundered. I don’t post as much for a few reasons, but one is that my interest level has reduced over time after seeing several interesting threads disappear to avoid offending sensibilities.
I wish more controversial topics could be discussed without ending in a huff or oblivion.
If it gets too quiet, let me know. I could start cussing at mofangongren. That would get things shaking in a hurry.
This site needs a fight room. Anything goes type of thing. Refer to other posts and whatnot.
