Lack of Activity

[Danger_Dave]

I've noticed a lull in the activity level of this site. There are now only 24 people reading the mens weight training forum at a time as opposed to 80+ during the summer.

Makes me sad...

I guess most of the activity came from people who were motivated only to workout during the summer or try to, now that school started again they got lazy.

I wonder if the traffic didn't slow a bit as a result of how slow the site had been. It's getting better now, but there for a while it was pretty bad.

I have noticed that, sometimes theres periods of about 5 hours where I check my emails and have a look to see whats happening on the forum and theres been only a couple of posts.

just like everything else in life

"the tide comes in / the tide goes out"

better to be a rock than the seaweed

oh good grief

I am overly tired.

Good night

Take a look in the gym, you'll see the same thing there. On one hand I'm glad because the squat rack doesn't have idiots doing curls in it but it's also kinda sad that so many people only care about their body when the sun's out

Yup, then when New Year's comes, they'll all be freaking out again, trying to start back.

It doesn't really get all that cold where I live, except a few cold fronts where we may see it hit freezing level a couple of times. So, we don't see quite as much of a drop in people at the gym until it gets closer to Thanksgiving/Christmas time.

The suns out all year here, so I've got my work cut out for me!

I think also it has to do with the fact that school is back on. I think a lot of posters are of school age...less time to waste on the net I guess...

 

[Karky]

Schools back on for me, but I still sit here all day long

Exactly. It's fact. There are around 25 users on this forum who log in at least twice a week, who always are around.

Bingo

That keeps me away sometimes. It's still pretty damn slow for me

for me it got much better for a bit, but seems to have slowed again.

It took me 3 tries to get to this thread just now. It kept timing out

Imagined if you could get paid to come and post on this site all day. That would be like a dream job.

Who was that, Tan****i? Which post did that guy finally end up getting baned for?

Hey man, why don't you start those pop-ins again?

sounds like something I know, in my gym there are these guys who come in late spring, work out like craisy, hurt themselves and then comes back next year older, fatter and workout even harder... funny in a sad way

 

[Trevor M.]

Right, tanni boy. Rep+ for you lol.

Not sure, Didn't see it "go down".

I plan to eventually, although it won't be done as it was before. Instead of just comming into journals. I plan to keep it all contained into one thread. I'll post the questions in the thread and anyone can "pop in" to answer it.

I'm thinking of making a "Reward" system for it to. Maybe reps?
