Hi, Tom,
Not sure if it's due to your changing the Iwave availability, but I've a sense that the board is slowing down. Perhaps a lot of people were drawn to the periodic prognostication. Like all the people who go to the Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania ground hog day. And maybe all the rest are fairly long-term AIMers so we all pretty much know the theory, process, software, etc. Haven't seen too many 'newbies' lately - even those that did stop in for a bit, like that lady with the nice signature photo, comradelenin, and so on seem to have wandered off to other venues. Perhaps it's because AIM is slower in nature, and we're conditioned to instant this or instant that - a system that uses patience must seem the tortise to a bunch of hares! Of course, the proof is at the finish line, but that's too abstract or distant.
Measured the time interval per 1k postings, and for the most part we're averaging around 1k posts per 95.25 days, with an exceptionally long stretch of 135 days between messages 20k and 21k (not included in the measurement). The current interval at 24k+ is 77 days so far, so we need the better part of 400 postings in the next 15 days or so to stay within the norms of the past few thousand messages.
So, not sure if anybody's got anything else afoot to put out here, but I did want to post this to see if this is just my own perception or are others noticing the same thing?
Best,
AIMster
