In reply to Is Babble Dying?, posted by llurpsienoodle on July 17, 2008, at 7:34:58
I believe we have always had some steady flow ofnewcomers come by, but the people who are old timer regulars who have posted a lot for more than a year 2 years ago are gone or not posting anymore. They are the ones who gave Babble the meat and potatoes.
Quintal named a lot of good reasons why. With all the rules I feel like I am now posting in a parlor room with lots of breakables and valuables. You are allowed to sit, but only if you have clean shoes and you don't air your dirty laundry. Plus pressed clothes with complete modesty.So yes, I feel Babble is dying, in fact it is almost dead. I try to post, but them am warned I am not sharing the boards. I would love more people here, but I think it has to do with the regular members leaving. Sometimes regulars are the ones who will influences the people who just read and not post to come out of their shells because they feel comfortable because of the long time posters. They can trust Babble because of it.
