The loss of knowledge - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Even though I am just coming up to a year at Barrow, it has been cool during that time.

I must confess one of the main reasons why my posting has dropped is because of RL. The possiblity of having to move to Portland during winter term and then there is work and college. My free time has kinda gone out of the window.

I would have to agree that one can get bored of a board once you are there long enough. That is why you "ghost" out and return later. Or you just sit back and wait for the right discussion to come around.

New memebers is not the main problem, just a factor. Think of it as such. Just as certain as death and taxes. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Let us in our actions, words and manner deminstrate to the newbies how this board is run and how to post.

As a tight nit community, well as previously stated; you said good bye to that type of structure once you hit 4 thousand registered users. They only way to maintain that smallness on the next is to keep about 100 to 200 registered users at the most.
