I use to log on as guest just to read what was being discussed. Recently whenever I log on it seem there is no interesting topics being discussed. What's up?
# 1 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
A lot of people that use the forums are students and this is regents time and a lot of them have finals to take. That means down time to study and prepare for tests.honeybee1236 at 2007-11-15 18:24:49 >

# 3 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
honeybee has it right. the school year is coming to an end and people are getting ready for finals and end of the years routine stuff. i'll bet that around summer time more people will come back on. especially is if the fifth gen iPod is announced.iBimbo at 2007-11-15 18:26:43 >

# 5 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
For the period from 1 May - today there are between 800 - 1000 posts each day. A lot of sites would probably like to have that sort of figure just for a year! ;)Bob at 2007-11-15 18:28:53 >

I have finals coming soon, but I stay here anyway. I have so much fun and the time flys by. Also I learn a lot of new stuff.afalconsvick at 2007-11-15 18:32:58 >
# 10 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
I don't really come here anymore either. I just don't find this site exciting anymore. I just don't find this site fulfilling all my needs anymore. I just don't like what is going on here anymore. I went to 2 different forums besides this one.Pghmyn at 2007-11-15 18:33:59 >
# 11 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
how long does it take to check a few posts and say some stuff? 10 mins at the most?iZach at 2007-11-15 18:34:52 >
# 12 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
Well i'm here almost every day, and i saw a slight decrease in "new posts" but um... its nothing to worry about?enjoilax at 2007-11-15 18:36:01 >

I am in week 11 of semester with 2 assignments, 1 report and 1 quiz all due next week.Not to mention the preperation for the exams which are in around a month, and you have quite a difficult situation as far as forum trawling is concerned :)

So what gets you excited now? What do you find is lacking in filling your needs? What is going on here that you don't like? What other sites have you migrated to? Please be a little more specific in your criticism at least.

# 15 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
Ha! 2 forums, I regulary go to over 10. But please, do tell.
And remember, this forum is only as good as the people who make it, so attitudes like that don't tend to have an overwhelmingly positive effect.

# 16 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
I went to 2 different forums besides this one.Ah yes, "ionmac" and "macsandpods". Hmm, both got a boost by "recruiting" members from iPodlounge if I recall correctly...
ionmac (http://forums.ipodlounge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37045)
macsandpods (http://forums.ipodlounge.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=77950)
...I did recall correctly...:rolleyes:

# 17 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
Yes you did Sir and we do appreciate your willingness to let us (ionmac) promote here in the past :) Thank you very much for helping a small forum out and we send people here whenever we can for all their iPod needs.Blue_Dawg at 2007-11-15 18:40:57 >
# 18 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
I agree with what was said about the school year. I garantee that starting in late June on the # of posts sky rockets!!JCRAcer43 at 2007-11-15 18:42:02 >
# 19 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
Probably also has to do with the fact that the Ipod has now been around for a few years and there is a well established FAQ and userguides for all Ipods on the lounge and hence people don't need to post messages to the forum.ZooStation at 2007-11-15 18:43:00 >
# 20 Re: Is posting in IPODLounge decreasing these days?
I wouldn't say that, because from nearly the start of the iPod, there have been people asking questions that have been answered one million times over! You can be sure that when the 5th Generation iPod comes out, there will be a huge burst of members and posts... and questions ;)
