    it just feels weird. i have been coming here near daily since the yield tour. i feel like i have become friendly with a lot of people on here and it sucks not "seeing" them around, ya know? .

    totally. I spoke on the phone this weekend to a message pit legend (who shall remain un-named) and he said there's just nothing here worth commenting on.....but, in the good old days, it didn't matter.....we could discuss nothing....it was like a seinfeld episode.

    what's the big deal, why unnamed?

    So I'm just gonna throw this out there, why don't you post the things you want to see here instead of complaining about on this thread? Start all the inane posts you want you never know it could totally take off.

    That is an excellent idea in theory, but no one seems to in here anymore. I think there are only 5 of in AET right now. Place used to be jammed. Now I'll admit, there were a bunch on inane topics, but there were good conversations in there.

    exactly. why start threads if nobody is here to see them and comment on them?

    The same thing is happening in AMT- basically the same handful of people and because we're small in number you pretty much know how the others there feel about most issues.

    So what is causing the drop off? People are too busy? Apathetic? Too many don't like the new format? S.P.A.M. (Seasonal Posting Affective Malady)?

    i am pretty sure it is a combination of the awful new forum and no american tour for awhile. i am thinking people might be on pearl jam overload, especially with the myriad of facebook fan sites that do not permaban people if they say something that somebody doesn't like. just my theory...

    Makes my work day suck even more. Page 1 of AET, you check on Monday and the same topics are on page 1 the following week. Some with no posts.

    It's like at the end of Planet of the Apes when Charlton Heston sees the Statue of Liberty..."they did it, they finally did it". They managed to kill the place.

    They still have the Porch where they have their "faithful", pun intended, who will go bat shit for a $35 t shirt when they release one. Oh well....back to work

    I like the Porch. :-S

    I used to like the pig that got up on the table and went a little crazy in that 80s movie Swamp Thing.

    Yeah, that groups not bad. ;)
    The problem with most of the PJ FB groups is that there are just too many people. It's impossible to follow sometimes, and hardly anyone is ever on the same wavelength. On the 10C forum, we pretty much all understand the scene. Man. :P

    I agree...that's why I think the new one is pretty cool...there's minimal eddie pictures put up and more random convos.
    Although, it could use some more cat pictures :P And I like that I can talk to people that aren't here any more.
