    Posting decline
    I used to love sitting at work and reading tons of posts. Lately Ive seen a huge decline on posts. I used to read all on the latest board then refresh and it was all new stuff. Now I see the same posts for hours if not all day?

    What gives? Has anyone else noticed this?

    It tends to come and go. Right now is a busy time of year for everyone with school getting ready to wrap up and baby ball pythons poking their heads out for some, while others are still putting eggs in the incubator.

    On the bright side, tomorrow is Friday, and traffic usually picks up around here on Friday after lunch when most folks want to look busy at work, without really being busy at work...:D

    Manage a pizza place, when you're the boss you can tell your employees to do the work lol.

    Oh, and it's only when we aren't busy and sometimes when we are. You can thank bp.net if your pizza is late :D

    I'm a 911 dispatcher, and if the good people of town decide to not get hurt or sick, not to cause trouble of any kind, and not start any fires...I can surf bp.net all day if I wanted to ;)

    My work has to come to me lol. If it doesn't, this is what I do.

    I'm a housewife (a nicer way of saying unemployed--not by choice) so I guess you could say I'm sort of on and off all day. I probably only comment on 25-30% of the posts I read though...

    Retired, so I do what I please. I find myself checking the forums even without meaning to, several times a day. It's just become so much of a routine that it's hard to break.

    I'm on throughout the day, and usually read most posts just to be more well informed.

    I work overnight shifts at a mechanic shop selling parts. So, a lot of computer work...which means a lot of reading.

    I've just been busy and found some good books. So my coffee time in the morning has been nose in book, not nose in bp.net. :rolleyes:

    I'm at school every day; not now though, as Slim said, summer has arrived, kids are getting out of school, and stuff. I'll hopefully be on a lot more.

    I have an iPhone...and when you click the Internet button, BP.net comes up automatically as I have it as an open page 24/7. Lol. I read almost every thread...I just don't comment on most of them. If I think that others have said what needs to be said, I won't take the time to type out a long reply on my phone. But it does give me the freedom to browse BP.net any time of day, no matter where I am. :P

    If something needs a long reply, I wait until I'm at my computer. More often than not though, I'm on my phone. Like now...haha!

    I work in finance as an analyst. The metrics I'm meant to keep up with are very relaxed and usually my work day is 50/50 work and play... and I still get $300 productivity bonuses every month :D

    I've noticed too. I used to have new reading to do all the time! It makes me sad when I open internet on my phone and all the same threads are still on the latest index...especially when it's the same threads for a few days at a time. :/

    I still read many of the posts but I don't comment or answer questions like I use to. For me, (and many others) the reason is due to how different the people are now. This site has changed so much since the BP craze really took off. Too many people try to make this forum just like so many others where it's nothing but arguing, berating, and posts by people who have not at the very least, read the care sheet.

    We lost so many awesome people because of it. I feel like I lost all of my friends on here due to the new generation of keepers attitudes and ignorance.

    Just being honest.

    I work in support for a computer software company. My job is to sit at my desk in front of my computer. I have three monitors, so I keep my email on one, work on the second, and bp.net on the third (unless I'm REALLY busy and I don't have time to log on...)
