'tis a sad day when a 12 y.o. post about red point vs. pink point gathers more replies than a tribute to a fallen brother
.........time to pull the plug Jeff, burn the bitch into the ground

I still stop in a few times a week, in case somebody has an injury and would like some free advice.
Last injury post was 2 months ago.
The strange (to me) thing is, the "who's online" function says 452 users have accessed the site in the past 15 minutes, yet I was the ONLY registered user online. Either there are many lurkers here, or the who's online function is squirrely.
Well, I for one will continue checking in.

When the new owner purchased the site and asked for input and feedback, a lot of us suggested making immediate, substantial improvements to the front page, both the visual design and the content, to show that things were changing and improving. Instead the owner elected to do a major year long revamp of the back end and database - perhaps necessary, but not visible to site visitors. In that year's time site traffic and participation has dwindled to gunks.com (a classic case study for site neglect) levels.

Anybody want to start a lotto on when the site will be sold to the next absentee landlord who pretends to give a damn.

I think we should allow the spammers back in. at least there was some activity when the site was between owners.
but then again, I doubt that the 468-Server with 4 MB of RAM (judging by the current "speed" of the site) could handle any additional load.
