I hardly post anymore, since this place was changed from the old pit...anyone else changed their posting habits?

Just feels, too big :?

yes i def have changed my posting habits from the old board. i used to live on the old board literally. i remember getting to "faithful" within 5 months. i used to average 16 posts a day on the old board. now i can go a few days or week without posting on here. it feels like the band sold out and said fuck you to long time members of a true community message board and just wanted elitist kisass's on the board.

Damn, I'm an "elitist kickass" I'm on the wrong board.

I really don't mean anything by this at all, just an observation and some hurt feelings, but it seems there can be some bully's or people just being snarky in general on here from time to time. Was the pit like that at all? I was around when the pit existed, but I never participated in it. On a side note, I do kind of miss the older site, or the old way the site was set up.

Hey, I kickass in an elite sort of manner as well! Sweet. And I chew bubblegum. Not at the same time though... that's risky business, kids.

It was much worse... and that's why I miss it. I haven't pushed down an old lady in some time.... Speaking of which, whatever happened to D2D? :twisted:

it was much worse cause a member could have a few names going on at a time. D2D last posted in june. weird she hasn't posted in 3 months.

I'm almost positive I have only posted under my name, but I drink, so...

Maybe D2D was fired from her job for her posting mania.

old pit = group house with comfy, but smelly old lounge; scratched coffee table covered in bottles, ashtrays and cds; tv blasting rage (australians will understand ); posters on the walls; lawn that needs mowing; tramp out the back (with people ontop and under ; open doors; closed doors; friends strolling in and out; cars in the driveway; neighbours whining about the noise; cops telling us to turn it down ... with a smile on their face; sunshine; sunsets; laughter; opinions; dates made; parties had ......

new pit = new high rise units; shiny tiled floor; stylised colour scheme; new plasma with matching surround sound, but limited to under halfway; manicured gardens; brand new car in the drive; exclusive and referenced tenants only; strict body corporate management; no noise policy; carpark out the back, where the old tennents hang out ..... sometimes ......

give me the new one any day of the week.

on the synergy message pit (http://web.archive.org/web/200212141742 ... &Board=Jam), i posted somewhat regularly between '99 and when it went out of service.

on the previous incarnation of this board, i had 1565 posts during its lifetime. (memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=747)

now i'm at what, 300 over a couple years?

yeah, my usage has gone down steadily over the past decade and a bit.

Do I need to log into view this? When I click on a thread it takes me to a page that reads:

"Not in Archive.

You may want to:

Just wondering, I think this would be interesting to browse.
