is it just me? i've noticed hardly anyone is around UM anymore why?

I've noticed it too...thre be less beoplle to listen to my drunken ramblings.

Noobs like me keep them off

Probably they would all come back when I'll be leaving .... 1 month and 16 days

Oh? You did not know? Some people are not addicted to using material conveniences. Some people actually have more interesting lives to live and more important affairs to attend to outside of this virtual world...

ok athenian, was just a question, chill dude.
and erik you know thats not the reason

Ive been really busy myself.

Yeah it has been quiet round here.

A little.. too quiet...

yesterday i was just about to start up a similar thread...it's really quiet in here recently...

i'm a bit busy myself with the mock exams coming up

Mock Exams?
So you're doing pretend exams of real exams?

Weird.

I tell you where I am;

In my garden! It's pitch black and Corringham has just been hit by the best snow storm i've ever seen in my foruteen years of liveing.

It started 15 minutes ago and the snows prettey deep already!

YAHOOOOOOOO!

hahah.
We've got about 15 feet of it in total this winter, which is very little compared to the norm. Several feet fallevery now and then, it's considered quite normal. So enjoy your couple inches.

Although i lived in England for 15 years and only once saw snow, we got about 2 centimeters of it, i remember it was so crazy the whole country shut down haha. So having that much snow over there for such a short time is very bizarre.

indeed. But, this was totally unpredicted. The weather channel said snow....in cornwall!

This countrys famous for its weather, but only because it nearly ALWAYS rains. Snow is very rare. It'll get more common as time goes on though, with global warming and junk.

i can't say i've noticed the lack of people here...

everyone seems to be here to me *looks around*

well not everyone, otherwise the forum would go boom!!!!

Maybe it's just a lack of decent topics then.
Everyone seems to be abit blah.

well yes, they crypto board is looking a bit uninspiring, i just can't find any fresh topics to discuss, i will look right now

Thank god I always leave an emergencey supply of topics in the general board.

hahahah

People like blah-blah

The UK shuts up when the whether is even slightly too hot or slightly too cold.

I think it's time to intiate my emergancey plan in the general board.

Statistically there's just as many people around now as there usually is, what makes you feel that there is hardly anyone here ?

There are 50+ members on the on-line list even as I write this.

It's just been pretty quiet lately i guess.

Maybe evreyones less active? I didn't relly notice it, it just seemed like a good place to talk about snow. lol

Yes, I can see your points.... I mean, there have been no posts in the last few days

ok maybe the important people haven't been here

the recognisable members as it were...

So many people join but don't stay

It hasn't been quiet lately, nor has it been less active. The amount of members posting and the number of visitors to the site is the same as it normally is.

I think u got it spot on the people who u are friendly with, possibly arent on as much, but the site as a whole hasnt gotten quiet!

So many of these threads

I check in on UM several times a day... but it just hasn't been any interesting topics lately.... just the same old same old!

Things will probably pick up soon!

yup. to get us ready i guess, get us used to the layout, plus, if you do bad in the mocks you then know that you should go down to the lower level or whatever. i'm doing all honours, except for irish. but if i don't get atleast a 'C' in maths and business in the mock exams, i'll do ordinary level for the actual exam then. it that way it's quite handy.

although, they say that the mocks/pres are actually more difficult than the actual exams

Make some interesting posts then!! Gawd u all sound like ur resigning the board to the mortuary!!!!!

How many members are there? how many new registrants per day are there? How many new topics and replies per minute are there??

I guess that makes sense LIV. Well good luck with that!

Nothing like it used to be along time ago *sigh* And now that the half term is over *UTTER SHOCK AND HORROR!!!* I get to much homework to go on UM. I might leave permanently ;(

Noooooooo
But I am being serious

Uh-huh. Walken only joined 2 months ago, and is still around, but he see's so many people who join, make one post then leave.

By seriouse recognisable members, you didn't mean Walken did you?

Aw.....that makes Walken sad.

thanks

(i'm so worried about the exams... i pretend i'm cool about it, but really i'm terrified! )

I'm closing this thread down, because the claims in here are frankly getting to be a bit ridiculous, and the record needs to be set straight.

Someone assumes that because they haven't seen someone in particular for a certain amount of time that the forum is 'inactive', as though there's nobody else here. The forum is not inactive, nor has there been any reduction in participation, 'quality' of threads or anything else for that matter.

By contributing to this with further claims of 'inactivity' you are feeding the rumour so to speak, the suggestion that there is some sudden lack of participation is simply untrue, period. I cannot stress this enough - please stop trying to make out that there is a problem here when there is none.

There are between 1000-1500 posts made to this forum every day, how anyone can claim that hardly anyone is posting is beyond me.
