Hey Liz!!!!! I missed ya while I was gone! I see what you are talking about, there weren't too many posts while I was gone, but I guess there weren't really all that many before I left either.
About the "count the replies, count the views", I'm sure you know that everytime we come back and read what others have posted that it shows up as a view, so like if I post and then come back 4 or 5 times to see if somebody else has posted, it shows up as 6 views. I'm sure that those of us who are posting are checking several times during the day to see if anybody else has posted.
I know that I started posting here because my chatroom buddies were posting here - you, Leenie, Tippy, LindaT, JudoMom, Cin, Sweetpea, and others, and I was hoping to be able to stay in touch with everybody because we just don't seem to be able to chat much anymore. I think that others like Ruthxxx and some from the lowcarb board also drop by and see what we are posting in order to try to keep up with us, but they don't post a message too often.
I don't know why the boards are so slow really? perhaps it has something to do with it being a "depression and weightloss" forum - sometimes when people are dealing with depression there is less motivation to do these sort of things - I don't know really. Also I know if I am feeling "down" I am less likely to post because I don't want to be a "downer", so maybe when others are feeling down they are not posting much - it's just a thought.
I sure would like to hear everyone's thoughts on the subject. Whatever is going on, I sure hope to be able to stay in touch with my internet buddies thru their posts!!!!!
take care,
Cathy
