I’ve been here for quite some time; I don’t remember any ”good old days”. People were quite rude back then. It’s a lot better atmosphere on the forum now, especially when the mods are cleaning up more often.

I've noticed the fun element has been lacking in recent months ..
I've also noticed a lot of people have disappeared, which is expected but there is a distinct lack of new faces appearing, and I wonder if it's the people or the topics discussed, that's deterring them from posting.

Maybe you're right but we are adults after-all, and most things are said in jest.
But I take your point that there are very few topics that are up for discussion.wave bouquet

I think it is the mod cleaning up which is ruining the threads and blogs.

People are afraid to have fun anymore

It used to be a bit younger, busier and to some extent free-spirited. The clique is as it always was and most of the mavericks have moved on.

I remember spending countless hours in the forums, bouncing from thread to thread like I was going from party to party in real life. laugh On Friday night, people had a life but somehow met here after it to converse in the threads and have a good laugh. Meantime, while all this is going on, the emails were coming in and you were having your own private conversations with the same people in the threads. Then people started arguing a lot and that's when I just called it quits and left CS all together. There were a lot more people from the United States in the forums at that time. There were people from all over the world in there but a good mix from the U.S., as well. I have made some amazing friends from this site. We are still close to this day. wine

If CS was a house party it would be 3 o'clock in the morning now. How many more years does anyone think CS will go on for?

There is a cycle that comes and goes ,looking through rose tinted glasses is no way to be objective when judging current forums .

Well, I remember 8 years ago, there were some different people. There are some nice people now just different. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Different people can change the atmosphere.

'the good ol days' are gone...
best to concentrate on now.

having said that...

there was a time when folks were more interested in having a laugh, being more accepting of each other, meeting ups, intelligent/good discourses in the threads...and a lot less time spent proving 'Right'.

focus on the present, and it will return.
