Was just having a conversation with another fairly long time member here via IM last week and we were talking about how stale and slow the place feels lately.
Probably not a bad thing to get some fresh blood in here to keep this place going.
Between the breaking out of sub forums, other social sites like facebook and reddit and some old timers either being banned or have just stopped coming here, it's not what it was back in it's prime.
I still come here most days but do find myself sticking to reddit more and more simply due to its aggregate front page (but with your own chosen topics) and the speed at which it moves and replies happen.
I'll always still come here also though as long as the place still exist.
