I've noticed that as well. I'm on here almost every day. Yet lately, when I sign on, there is barely a new post in the previous 4-5 hours or more. What adds to the weirdness, there will be 7-8 people on, but no one is posting.

Have we drained our forum of topics? Or have we simply become to dry to all of the trolling? As much as it was annoying, it seemed to be almost more fun back when we had trolls coming in masses. Not only did it lighten the mood and give us a use for shallow, insulting humor. It gave our regulars a way to relieve a little steam and cheer up after saying "STFU N00B!".

Our forum is dying.

Oh, and a good example of this, Drac's birthday thread has less than 10 responses. That isn't the norm.

Is This The End
Of Our Strange Horror Trip
We Have Many Posters
Who've Abandoned Our Ship

Where They Have Gone
Is Anybodys Guess
Leaving This Forum
In A Bloody Mess

Should We Blame The Mods
For Getting Too Tough
Deleting Accounts
When They've Had Enough

Should We Lay The Blame
On Too Many Tournaments And Such
Some Find Them Lame & Boring
Me, Eh, Not So Much

No My Friends, Its Clear
Who Will Carry The Burden Of Blame
Its All The Posters Who've Left
In A Moment I'll Give You Their Name

Urgeok Took Off
Man Of Little Patience Was He
But A Wealth Of Knowledge In Horror
And Funny As Can Be

Bloodrayne Left As Well
And With Her Went The Dude
Claimed Her Baby's Needs Were Greater
Than Talking Horror With This Brood

What Ever Happened To Haunted
She Left Without So Much As A Wave
Pre33ure & Murderdoll Post Little
Its Controversy They Crave

Zwoti Was A Man Of Few Words
But Still He Left His Mark
Italian Horror Was His Speciality
As Mod His Bite Was Worse Than His Bark

for the record i'm not saying i'm planning on leaving or anything. . . its more a matter of registering disappointment in the state of things and, in fairness, what seemed fairly draconian measures taken by mods. His Herald was a bit annoying but if that constitutes 'unreasonable behavior' then I think we've drawn that circle a bit too tight.

maybe recent 'trolls' have made security too tight - but i think if every level of banter, back-and-forth, and annoyance is immediately erased then it leaves conversations that - as many do now - just dwindle to nothing.

i figured HIS HERALD would rile people up (and maybe in deference to ChronoG it was a bad way to spark things up) - but I was shocked to see him banned and all threads erased in less than 8 hours (after only about 10 posts and nothing blatantly offensive).

to be honest, given the total absence of most mods, i only assume this was Austin (he's the only one i've seen anywhere near the place in months) and i'm not picking a fight with him but just wondering how things got to the moribund state they currently occupy.

So you are saying, we are basically Moderator free, but we have strict rules?
