Seeing as this site is so shit 10:30 - Aug 25 with 7581 viewsDarran

Seeing as we have some moaning about how quiet it is now on the forum.
Interestingly I spent the last 10 minutes looking at the stats

Since launch we have had almost 13000 posts on the forums - this is just about 500 posts per day on the forums. On average the old forums were averaging around 650 per day but the 500 per day is currently growing and closing in on that number.

So far this month we are at 2.71m page views recorded on the site. Only once this year (January) did the old site exceed 3m so overall there are more page impressions and visitors coming to the site at the moment. The argument will be that the site takes you back to index page etc but it used to take you to your post after giving a 'thanks for posting page' which is actually the same number.

New features are due to go live any day - there have been some teething issues with some of them hence the delay but they are many of the features people have asked for.

One of the reasons the forums feel quieter is we used to run with 16 topics per page, we now run with 25 so whilst there are less topics being posted on (given the reduction in post count) it also looks less as there are more topics and post per page.

The other thing we have now is far more guests viewing the forum. This was always going to be a factor in the new forum as people need to register and we get many people trying to log in using old names which keeps the guest count up.

We currently have 1930 registered members

My only winge is that the site is hungrier on my laptop, which slows my laptop down so pages run slower, but in work it's fine.......time to upgrade I think.

Good way to boost customer relations there's a lot more angst on here though, opinions are shot down in an instance

A pub will always lack atmosphere if the characters and best customers are not in. FACT.

True, I just think there's more people lurking to cause arguments rather than debate, seems quite angry at times, but like you say it needs character

When ever I put my opinion up on the football thread I get abused by people who think I am winding them up. People aren't willing to believe others could have a differing viewpoint to theirs and when challenged get all uppity and extremely rude. When challenged about their behaviour they do not reply.

Some people are extremely blinkered.

We also seem to have a problem with people on other sites constantly saying they are banned from here which totally not true.

I'm not sure what the term for people like that is but its pretty f*cking weird.

People used to regularly get shot down before. As with here, some deserved it and sometimes the usual suspects just chimed up with a whinge.
What's going on here, I don't know. Teenage angst or middle aged crotchety moaning, some people need to lighten up. Me too!

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Opinion though rightly or wrongly is just that opinion, I do see people having a go with you a lot but I think its that character you were talking about, perhaps if that fictional pub had you and the other posters in there it may descend into a bar brawl
