Is the Site dead?

[mlededee]

the site is also generally a little slower on the weekends because everyone is busy and out and about instead of stuck at work (where a lot of people have computer access and will post) and whatnot. the site may have slowed down a little but i do believe it has become better since the transition. it is definitely not dead.

Well I'm fairly new here and to snake keeping as a whole but so far I love this forum. It's been a huge help to our family with our new baby BP. I do use the search function a lot to look up a topic or read older threads about issues that come up with this type of snake that we haven't faced yet.

I do like though when I start a thread I'm not getting just links to other threads and nothing else. Perhaps my question might be one asked before but it is very comforting for a new owner to know there are far more experienced people on here every day that have the patience to answer yet another temp, humidity, shed, feed problem from a worried newbie. This is the first place I go when any question has come up in the time we've owned our snake. So far, anything we've needed to know right now or wondered about in the future, I've found here either in a thread I've started or in one I found through a fast search of past posts.

Keep up the great work Ball-Pythons.net!

P.S. One last thought, having checked out other forums (not naming names) but this one seems on the whole to be a respectful place where if owners do disagree on a topic or feel someone has made a mistake in their husbandry, they treat each other well and do not let it go to a place where personal insults become the focus.

Ive been a member for a pretty long time now.

I think everyone remembers me posting away like crazy on almost every thread possible.After youve been around for awhile sometimes like elevatethis said, people sometimes do more reading then posting.

We also havent had an enormous amount of new members (people who do most of the posting) so i think that could be a reason too.

I too think it has slowed down alot.

I think that when it went down, people just assumed it was still down and forgot to come. THen they forgot to come, then forgot about the site. Or they found another site while it was down, and yet again forgot about this site. I know that happened with me and the reptile rooms. I used to go there, but now I found other sites and I go to them. I doubt that has happened, since the people here are really nice and informative, but you never know.

I like it still, it just is a bit frustrating sometimes if you really need something answered. Also I think I like it more since it is more intermediate-advanced herpers posting here, rather than (as stated above) the simple questions that could be answered by reading a caresheet. I mean it's ok to have a few posts like that, but before it was like every post could be figured out by reading a simple carsheet.

I like this site alot, though.

He has posted here since the move, but not much because his life is very busy right now. He's doing good things for himself though, and I'm sure he'd be glad to know he's been missed.

I noticed a slowdown too. I know that personally, I do not have the Internet at home (we live out in the boonies so it would be too expensive to get satellite, and I despise aol.) I go to my mom's roughly 4 times a week after work, and that's when I can get on. I really wish I had a comp at home, but my BF might be getting a job where he would get free internet, so cross your fingers; I would be one of those people who'd be online all night instead of sleeping, like I used to when I lived back home!
