This NG used to be packed with a few hundred new posts every day. Now
there is hardly anything going on. Did everyone move on to a web
based forum and if so which one.

I haven't been posting much lately for a couple of reasons. The more time
that passes, the more experience I get and less questions to ask, also, I am
up to 20 fish tanks now (no, not all saltwater and no, I don't think that is
too many tanks, lol) and that takes most of my time, aside from work.

I've been hanging around here for the better part of 3 years, I I
don't remember there ever being "a few hundred" posts a day. It has
been steadily dropping off though, as more and more web based forums
(I hate em, image intensive, no organization, can't follow
threads...there ARE no threads!!!) pop up and younger netizens fail
to be made away of NNTP in the first place.

Hello Phatty,

Yes, I remember when there were many replies each day. If you hadn't
read the messages for a week, it was almost impossible to catch-up.
The technical arguments between (say) Jimmy Chen and Boomer used to
continue for weeks, with other regulars chipping-in as they thought
fit - very educational to a "newbie", and also very amusing. Oh for
the good-old-days.

Regards,                                Fishnut.
