So OT, or whoever is still here,

Have you noticed that OT has been abit quiet lately and not as many people posting with alot of threads i see on the front page being there this morning and with only a few more posts.

Is it a lack of interesting threads? or has everyone suddenly slipped into a skyrim coma like i did for 2 weeks?

Anyway your thoughts

You didn't like my thread about soap? :( :P You're right though, we need more unique threads. We should collectively avoid religious and political threads for like... a day.

Unfortunately, that does seem to be the case. Although aren't many colleges/HS in the States having exams around now? Could be the reason

Most are in the week before final exams. OT will bloom once everyone goes home and needs something to do other than hang out with their family :P

What do you expect ? They ban every member that provides some lulz.

We have that yomandjf guy with his vegan threads but that's about it...

OT never dies, but we do need to work on convincing certain members that they can still boost their post count without opening up 5 threads every time they log-on.:lol:

Once the rules are fully relaxed we can revived OT by making a "bronies" thread where many of us can bluntly say what needs to be said. There are only so many ways you can debate controversy politely before people lose interest.

Once the rules are relaxed, a lot of the serious posters will move elsewhere, to the platform boards or to unions.

They mostly already have. Or just post sarcasm on.. everything. Like around 2009 you'd have a thread and tons of people having actual discussions. Look at some of those same users today, who aren't banned, and most just try and be comical. Or 2-3 people go at it for 10 pages. So I disagree with you. I think once the rules are relaxed we might actually get some serious discussions going again. At the very least there will be more "classes" to our forum game aside from professor thesis and smartass.

I haven't been paying attention...ie I haven't spent much time here. Didn't mean to make the statement too complicated.........thought I found this post particularly enlightening....

OT used to be a lot more active and lively, then it took an arrow to the knee.

Anybody who works retail or with the public in some way is probably really busy, I know I am, I'm getting way more shifts than usual. Also, people are visiting with family and friends for the holidays or before they leave for their own winter holiday, and I think university and highschool students probably have exams right before the holiday break. But it has been noticeably more slow in here lately. Maybe once everyone's on holiday break it'll get more interesting.

Glitches (Like the current stupid glitch that shows all topics as "Read" including the ones I haven't even opened. Too much of a hassle to figure out which ones I read and which one I haven't....) is the main reason I haven't been posting lately...

Night begins sooner ---> Bedtimes go sooner

In all fairness, most people have probably understood how much of a bore this place can be, considering the repetitiveness of threads, and have thus waddled away, occasionally dropping by nowadays.

We're just waiting for the new batch of level 15's to take over this place, dreaming for the day they'll be talking to each other with inside jokes and innuendos, getting together in groups of level 50's-60's with 100K posts and calling each other OT vet, king, queen, jester.

The pace slows more with each month. I'll often not check for a couple of days, and when I come back I'll see pretty much the same threads as when I left D:

Yeah, there's too many repetitive threads/arguments here, anymore. The life has been sucked out of OT...
