I used to be a post whore, but lately..

[livi]

Not sure why, but since the last months I do not post like I used to. I have a ridiculous post count. Every free moment I used to read threads and post like a maniac. Lately several days will pass without even logging in on Pelican. When I do I scroll down the list of thread titles, rarely finding anything of interest and almost never post a reply. Feels almost like I have lost interest.

Anyway, I don´t like the feeling. I used to have so much joy and social entertainment, education and passion from following you guys on Pelican. Is this a temporary sickness? Happened to anybody else?

Thanks.

growing up? Getting a life?

j/k....know the feeling. Sorta like SAD (seasonal affective disorder).

I think it's temporary. I've gone through periods where I logged in and didn't see anything interesting. I'll usually check out the 911 tech forum and/or driving forums then. If that doesn't work, then I'll check out the miata forum, personal weather station forums, telescope/astronomy forum, photography forum, etc....

I need to drive my 73E. Too many things have been in the way, lately. My priorities are obviously screwed up.

I've noticed a lot of good posters haven't been posting as much. And a lot of the boorish (and bore-ish) ones posting a lot more. PPOT definitely has been in a downward trend. IMO the splitting of PPOT/PARF, while having some upside, didn't help overall.

IMO, the threads are not as interesting as in the past. Tech and OT. I dont post very often but do read intersting threads on builds or topics of interest.
Still log in to check but fewer topics of interest IMO.

When I get bored, its fun to post a whopper on the religion and politics board. After being called a commie, racist, homophobic, atheist, bible thumping, left wing right wing sob, it's relaxing to come back here and be boring again.

It happens, it will go in phases. I've left here for months at a time before, to come back with a recharged battery.

I've found this applicable on a daily basis:

Hey Livi,
Noticed you'd cut down, I just figured you were over in PARF or something; I don't bother with that section.

I'm about a month away from shutting it down for the summer; no computer at the cabin and then it usually takes me a few months to get back into it? For me it's more like a "Spring" thing, the more I drive my car, the less I spend on the computer.

I still chime in once or twice a day, but I find myself just skimming through the threads as well. Todd's probably right, but maybe a break away is a good thing?

Anyway good doctor, have a great day today!
Take your car for a rip.

Yeah, let's hope so. Better a post whore than a regular whore.

[fingpilot]

I'll stay here until I understand the 60's.

Markus, are you saying, "It's not you, it's me"?

The
I see the splitting as keeping the real crap separate (PARF) and I "don't get my shoes dirty" while perusing PPOT. I'm not looking for an argument, and I am curious as to why you see it as "not helping overall".

Best,
Tom

[911Rob]

Yeah, Keep the PARF over there!
best thing *they* did

This Board is going downhill ....thats what everybody says at one time or another..

One might say that after awhile the Board begns to repeat itself, and one just kind of bypasses what one has already discussed adnauseum.

So one just becomes selective...

I just pick out what interests me and let the rest just slide on by.

Of course you should always read the TABDULLA...as I always have something creative to say....and Robby you should at least take a gander at what I write on the Throw up side of the Board... it does seem to have far reaching influence.

[slodave]

Admit it. Your fluffer business has really taken off!

[svandamme]

same here, i just don't have enough time for it no more...

used to live 10 minutes from work in a country i didn't like much, in a shoebox appartment
now i live in my home town, in my own house, work is a 1 hours one way drive

The only thing i'm missing, is a P-car, which is out of the question since i just bought the house and doing minor changes to it...
but i'm always thinking about the next one, most likely it will be a 914, working my way back to 911


I do try to keep up with things, after all, once a postwhore, always a postwhore..
Livi, you're just in denial about it, you'll be back to full whore status in no time.. Long and dark winters in Sweden, and you know it darn well, Fluffy.

Time spent on PPOT goes up and down. Life gets busy, weather gets better, fewer interesting topics, etc. Then, a few months later, it all reverses.
