where has everybody gone?

Posted by: Andy1912 on 29 July 2009

Got a spare hour and I'm just a tad bored. So, for interest I went back to the very first posts on this forum form 2000. I recognised very few names among those who regularly post nowadays, so I'm just wondering what happened to those guys Confused

hopefully it was one of those upright vinyl player ones, or was that sharp?

They were sacrificed to Gods @ Naim. The remains of their bodies can be found in the pucks of current line CD players.

I suspect they left because stupid smileys and pics can only hold your interest for a short while.

If you dumb something down, people will leave.

Mick,

Why are you still here then after 9 years?

I am amazed that in your 6180 posts you have never contributed to such "stupid smilies and pics." Props to you.

Roll Eyes maybe this one will put you over the edge. We can only hope.

I see that Mick and I registered the same day--must have been when the old forum died and this one was born. Anyone else with a similar date? I realize that some forum members have re-registered for technical reasons...

... and they called themselves by proper names in those days too. Different breed, probably.

Are they old forum members Munch? Is that what I can expect to happen to me after a few years?

Maybe they got tired of Mick Parry parading his humour bypass,
&/or his sanctimonious I remember when it was all fields around here BS?

Mick is a gentleman, a quality not always evident here.

He was the first Forumite I met; I asked if anyone had moved from Kabers to SBLs and he invited me to Parry Acres to listen to his SBLs.

The main thrust of this Forum is, IMO, Naim-related issues, and quite rightly so. After a while people may either run out of questions to ask, or find they have questions to ask that cannot be rasied here - for example, mains tweaks - and they start posting on other Fora.
