Hershey wants to know...

"Hey all - I really used to enjoy this board. There used to be lots of stuff going on and there were some intrersting and stimulating discussions here. It seems that a lot of the folks who were contributing members are still here but aren't posting too much any more. Anybody have any ideas how we can get this board and the folks on it involved again?"

Any of the old crowd lurking about?

Me, been around 2.5 years and never thought of leaving, just took a few short breaks to see if things would calm down.

What he said!!

Oh, wait, I'm not here. I was never here. I'm ............................ where am I???

Maybe this Hershey dude doesn't realize that there are times for everyone when you just don't have as much time as we like for things in life like Internet Boards, and there are times when several people in all walks of life may be busy all at the same time.

I'm in the same place a lot of you guys are in right now. I got a promotion at work a couple months back and my free time has shrank to an all time low. I expect things to settle back down at somepoint, but right now I'm in that "proving myself" phase. I used to be able to check in during the day a whole lot more, but when I get to work its usually 8-10 hours of non stop action.

That being said, I would like for things to pick up a bit and I'm open to suggestions. What do you guys think would get people more involved again?

Isn't that kinda what Hershey wants, too?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I really don't think so. (Not that it's a bad thing...) Certainly Bill gets the board pretty doggone active at times (much like Hershey is doing right now).

But, seriously - that's not what I was reading in Hershey's comments - although I see quite a few others seem to be reading something quite different...

Well I'll have you know this long-term extremely contributing FYG has no plans of leaving.

Yeah, quite a few. You're entitled to your opinion. I personally feel that bringing Bill back would be the worst thing to happen to this board since... well, since he was here.

Sorry we don't see eye to eye on this.

I don't think of myself as old, but I'm still here, never left.

Still hanging around, just a bit less time available in my life.
