Page 1 of Where is everyone?

Is it me or are these forums a lot quieter these days?

Are less people logging on? Posting?

I can`t remember the last time a mod had to break up a flame war.

If it`s a flame war ya want ya t0ssa, let`s go!!!

Seriously though - I`ve actually had to do REAL work lately! Gutted! So no surfing for me, except a few minutes here and then. Not good.

It is a lot quieter of late, it`s a case of post a reply and come back the next day to check it!!

have to agree, and the `Bargains` are somewhat lacking lately...

Yes I agree. It definitely seems quieter than a few months ago.

It would be interesting to find out if less people are using the forums or they just cant be bothered to post stuff. Anybody know ??
Maybe the novelty wears off after a while of using forums ...

In actual fact our stats show the complete opposite regarding the forums section of DVD Reviewer! We appear to be `mopping up` a lot more users since Colin`s DVDForums has had unreliability probems.

Well I`m a newbie so everyone say HI!

say `please` m`laddie-o!!...anyway..youve been here two weeks now, and two weeks is a long time in DVDs.

Hi everyone, I havn`t been on since just before christmas. I`ve been coming back for a read now and again but just havn`t had much to say.

Unfortunatly the Davies family have had a pretty s***e christmas, to cut the story very short, 3 days before xmas the baby was taken into hospital, very de-hydrated and explosive runs & vomiting nasty rash all over her body, eventualy about 6.30pm xmas eve they let her home, then had a mad rush to get everything ready for the following moring, 2 days after xmas our other daughter came down with chicken pox.

Then new year eve at the in-laws, my father in law decides to confess that he has been having an affair that was the end of that party, then new years day after he has sobered up and realised what he has done he decides he can`t face anybody so takes an overdose, back down the hospital and after pumping him full of charcoal he finaly comes around just saying that he will do it again as soon as he gets the chance.

He has come to terms with it now but looks like they are going to split, needless to say the misses has taken it really bad, she is dosed up with tranquilisers and on the sick from work.

My work isn`t going well, they guy I work for has turned into a right tw*t in the last few weeks, I just dread going to work now, but the work is easy and the pay is great, only have to see him for a few mins a week so will put up with it, hopefully he will go back to how he was.

Then to top it off my grandfather died last week, this is the first time somebody in my close family has died, it is harder for me as we were very close and as some of you know I was named after him so have found it hard going to the family for some support as as soon as I walk in the room everybody just starts crying, everybody took it realy bad as you can imagine, we burried him on Monday, service was very upsetting, I was asked to carry in the coffin so agreed to do it, but it has completely messed me up now, I just can`t face seeing anybody.

I know things will get better, but what a start to the year. Hope yours was better.

Take it easy guys, your friend, Gerald.

Sounds like you`ve had a right s***y time of it mate.

It can only get better now.

All the best,

The 42%er.
