Has everyone died or are they so busy informing their millions of friends on facepuke , that they no longer have time to share banter and info with a closer group of friends?
I suppose this is now the new way of life where you photograph your dinner and share it rather than eating it while talking to your true friends beside you.
I hope that there are still a few of us who will still be able to talk .

They are the figures for today, so not everyone is dead, personally I've had a lot going on for the last week or so and all my attention has been elsewhere, and will be for a bit.

There is a difference between looking in and communicating , like yourself Martin I have those busy times .
My point was that for days there has been practically no posting from anyone, surely everyone cannot be busy?

I done enough talking in my first couple of years to do me about five years worth ,and also been away in Eastern Europe for a while , i genuinely honestly thought the craic was offline for a while , , I thought the moderators were taking a bit of a break,

They always say that it is good to talk Jason .😂
Yes it was down for a short time but has been back for some time now so I just hope it gets used enough to make it worth keeping.👍

No, I was referring, only to the ones you would expect to be posting something. :-/ Do the unregistered ones post here ?

No, they can't 😐

But they will never, if they can't be bothered registering they sure as hell won't post.

They find the information searching the internet, then they leave, we really should block them like Facebook does so they have to register and join a group, but thats not what the internet was intended to be.

Blame the cliques.

Those that forget how they met, of course they met here, then they thought they could do it better so they created a Facebook group, or started a WhatsApp group.

Then more joined here, then some created......

Now we are left with a handful of people not like that, who value the forums for what they are and what they have done and for the people they have met. Unfortunately loyalty is hard to come by these days.

"They find the information searching the internet, then they leave, we really should block them like Facebook does so they have to register and join a grou, but thats not what the internet was intended to be."

On the other hand if left as is and we got 50 from the other 1000+ we would have doubled the day, and possibly improved the input, isn't that what we would hope for? 🤔
