I just figured that's it's a natural progression of very busy times, followed by slower times. I've got a lot of ideas for pictures, just not any time right now.

Very Misleading title.

However things may seem you have to ask why theres a lull, is it because of other reasons people have stopped posting pictures or contributions? I know lots of us have 'things going on' that are taking priority at the moment, and i know for sure that I have been checking back on this site. Theres been some good contributions from regular members, Outrider & Tone Guns.,.Prince Adam, oh and I realied Agent Viper has stepped up with some good shots too.. It depends how you look at the contributions really, I mean sometimes just posting up a photo is better than random waffling on a board. __________________ My Sites Eternity Toys Superiorville Toy blog Urban Saboteur Stories Social Sites & Communities Facebook Flickr Tweet Me

very good point. think this is the major issue why there are less people posting. they really dont have much to post if their not not the 25th.

I can get that other info elsewhere but very few have active pic and dio sections like here. I like browsing the days photos and commenting and steal... I mean borrowing ideas and stuff. In fact I have an idea for a fun series of photos I'm going to try shooting soon. Something that will harken back to the good old days. But I do see where the forum side of things might seem a bit slow. Its the natural ebb and flow of the interwebs. __________________ Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Agree totally agree here, just hard to balance time with the semster wrapping up, shit is crazy busy. I get to look but its hard to post unless its at like 3 am and I can't sleep. Normally I get a photo or 2 up on the weekend but my mom and sis cam in town from the AZ and bought me Grand theft auto 4 and mario cart. It was a fun weekend and I can't put gta 4 down so now balancing my time is that much harder!!!

fifthconspiracy Smack-Talking Ninja Offline --> Posts: 581 --> Join Date: Jan 2008	I mainly stopped posting cause the atmosphere wasn't there... but since I see Hammerfell cleaned house, I'll come back ;-) I've got quite a few how-to sets I've built and haven't posted. And I don't see the 25A thing being an issue really. I love seeing the old school shots, and I'm only 25A and the ARAH folks on the whole have been super kind with their feedback and comments. It's all good baby! woot! And I do agree with Cory... GTA4 is eating my life away too ;-) Cheers! ~ Paul.
