Zfrk's back. tell a friend.
yes, i'm coming out from under my rock and making an appearance after who-knows-how-long.
hope the atmosphere here is somewhat similar to the old days. Haven't been on forums in a long, long, time.

Atmosphere, what atmosphere LOL :-\
There are people who check the forums regularly, and fewer who post. But they are familiar names

I never did make it over there. I blame RC and Global Warming.
How is it?

It's ok. posting rate is nothing what JW used to be, and really it's only the old names posting anyway. There's not a whole lot that fuels posting either (ie no flame wars). Dunno how it's been over here since I have no idea when i last logged in.

Every so often some topic blows up to 10 replies! So Zfrks62's return is the talk of the town

We need to spark a fire under the butt of MW. Sadly, much has changed in the lives of many of the core group that the chances of a resurgence of the glory days are slim to none.

Yes, sadly as time goes on, the amount of time I spend hammering my fingers on my keyboard has dropped. On the big message boards out there, there is continuous 'new blood' to keep things interesting. Without that large appeal of content, what we have here is considerably lower response/topic rates.
I do wonder how the 'dark side' managed to never grow despite having it's own user-based content for years. Spammers excluded, we've continued to grow (in terms of real users sign up at least).

TAU gets 2-3 newbies a week it seems. But like the old days, they stay quiet. I seem to remember JW at it's peak attracting at least 5/day it seemed. I don't see a 3 hour quest to get a specific lurker to make their first post happening anytime soon sadly.
TT is still posting away pics and the car sighting's board is still active. But I do think that time and age has pulled many of us away from forums and into real life. I know that was my reason for dropping off the radar for so long.
When I started posting over there again, I picked up like I had never left. Hijacked a couple of threads with my return, alone

Nah, you weren't too far behind me in joining. I remember seeing you post here and there.
