Is anyone else noticing much less traffic around here?

Heck no! I think there are more people here than ever before, and so many postings I just can't keep up with it all!

i am having a hard time keeping up....
at LEAST you guys havent been sold out and taken over by yahoo like the last forum i went to!
if you missed a day there would over 800 new messages and none of them from actual members.
any actual questions from actual members were drowned.... which is why i'm here. it was pointless
being there.

MY sections sure haven't. Although, it does seem like we as a group get focused on one or two things and that's the bulk of the posts sometimes.

And, the weather is finally nicer now too, so I think more folks are taking advantage of that fact.

I have noticed that since the redesign of the boards, the way the topics are layed out are sort of less conducive to discussing a wide variety of things and things tend to clump around a few specific topics.

I haven't been able to get on much lately. Most of my teachers have put things off and are piling it on now at the end of the semester, and finals are approaching as well. So I've been busy.

Not that I've noticed....but I do agree about the nicer weather and several impending big events like weddings, vacations, and babies perhaps having an effect.

I've noticed it being slower. Which is seriously impacting my procrastination - I've actually had to get some work done these last few days. C'mon, idoggers, pick it up! :-p

I haven#%92t noticed a lot less traffic, but I have noticed that there seems to be less the past week that I am interested in posting on. This isn#%92t unusual… it normally kinda goes in fazes for me… so maybe that is what you are noticing too Lori, less that you personally want to post on??

I'd say the high drama, emotion, and personality conflics have definately slowed down. [8D]

Most people seem to be doing a better job of self-moderating, staying on topic, and respecting the rules and boundaries, too.

Good conversations are still happening. And, I'm definately enjoying the peaceful sharing of information and "milder" debates which have been going on more recently. [

I've noticed most dog boards do slow down a bit during the spring and summer months. Personally, I know I spend a lot less time online when the weather is decent.

This winter has been the most severe I've ever seen! [
