The state of this forum has become quite miserable especially since the change to this new software. Except for the great history of the past, the current state is quite pathetic. I wonder how many bots have joined the forum? It's impossible to even query that with this new software. Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if this site were shut down. Quite sad.

Put me down...

I guess that we humans basically don't like change. However, I also find the new software cumbersome and it does seem that there are a lot more bots lurking around.

I miss the good old days as well. there's not much activity these days. I think this place was more active when the internet was first becoming known. It was a great source for people to go but now everyone has a smart phone and searches for the answer to their question without having to log into a forum to search... Times have just changed... When someone does post something all yall are a lot quicker to reply because when I log on in the evening after dinner, all y'all have already answered their question. Marc and Pete are the fastest reply posters here.... I would be sad to see it shut down, but going to guess it will soon unless we can find where people are going and creat a new place for this generation of kids with their questions and wonderment about human nature and how they fit into the whole place......
Would still like to be part of any new adventure, Just saying... Just incase the DocJ is reading...

I find I'm not coming around as often as I used to, because so often there is nothing to see. :(
The software has not been designed with security in mind, and has serious deficiencies. At some point I think the board will explode in spam and will have to be shut down.
I agree, Roc, times have changed.

This forum software is a joke. It's difficult to count but I'm guessing that maybe up to 100 new bots join the forum daily. I'm really surprised that the forum isn't flooded with spam.

They don't seem to have been used yet. All the spam we get at the moment seems to come from real people. But one day whoever is controlling the bots will activate them.
