It might look that way just now Mr Cabbage, but just wait till yesterday evening.

Most of the regulars here are off on interstellar travels or creating time travel related temporal paradoxes.

I think? Otherwise they have been away for a long time.

It took me a while to digest this sentence. :)

Seriously, I don't visti pubs and I was hoping to find a forum where I can drop in for a short chat after a day spent alone in my flat. I don't think this is it. :(

That's a shame you feel that way, the problem with our forum is that most of the regular and excellent contributors have passed to the great forum in the sky. Search for Hollowhorn and you'll find a vast amount of information that would allow you to engage for weeks.

The other issue is that social media group run well know by some as F******K but and so you have a minority left, a small group of worthies many of whom fail to post anymore. It needs people like YOU to keep us on our toes and to provoke us to get back to what this forum was, so please don't walk away.

I want to chat with somebody who will respond, not just to read. That is what forums are for, isn't it? i have plenty of good books to read already, I don't need to turn forums into readings.

Not walking away (yet), but not logging in often as well.

I miss the old days on this forum when spam posts such as this would have been removed almost instantly.

Maybe I'm looking at this through rose tinted glasses but it was better way back then.... I also miss Hollowhorn and those we've lost, the forum was excellent then and always something popping up. We've died a death and these spammers come on plying their snake oil.

This is interesting.
