What is happening to the Lounge in recent weeks. Around 9-11 each night, in my area, it virtually grinds to a stop, speed wise. There are less people posting than ever I can remember, so that is not the reason. :(

It is also grinding to a stop, posting wise. Around 10.30 last night no one posted in the Lounge for almost half an hour. Unheard of.:(

When I tried to post it took me three attempts to make a normal post. I was stopped by anti-spam. Yet no one else was posting?

I eventually just switched off and watched a movie. Are other members doing the same.

Can something not be done about this? Or is this the beginning of the end? :(

I've noticed this as well, the speed of the board at night, it does seem to slow down somewhat and this new anti-spam thing is a bit of a nuisance at times. (Though infinitely preferrable to what the admin had in mind at first).

Hopefully these problems can be ironed out. :01:

That random, random thingymajig, JP. :) It often prevents you from posting normal posts and it takes as many as three attempts to make your post. Introduced by admin, I think, to prevent spamming. :blink:

Admin have changed things so that we can't double post, use "spam" scripts, preview then post (in some cases) and, sometimes, post at all. :lol:

I think they are referring to accidental double posting that happens on occassion and when someone pages back and replies with exactly the same reply again.

It was made with the same logic that does not allow you to advertise your site in a post. But if you put it in your sig you can advertise it in every single post you make. :smilie4:

If this anti-spam thing is random, surely everybody has been affected by now. Or as we all know, or should know, there is no such thing as random. This has been proven when it is the same people who are being affected by it. Who is going to affected when these people leave? As surely some of them will. :(

Boab,

I think the forum "pacemakers" have drifted away. These people were active almost all the time and kept the new topics and posts coming.

I am more of a commentor than a thread starter. We all have different niches in the forum. BillyDean was a shitstirrer.

Simply having people who post blah, huh, spam, stfu is not enough to keep anyone interested and I certainly don&#39;t miss interweb.news and his open groping.

Withcheese, S4, and Spiderdude are some of the newer pacers, but they seem obsessed with GEP and I don&#39;t know what the hell that is.

To summarize, GEP is destroying the board. Jonno, Lilmiss, Titey, NikkiD, Ukman, fugley, Lamsey, Weemouse, Rat Faced, and FC are guilty of forum neglect.

If Jpol and SensualCornholing were to leave, I think the forum would be nothing but rapfan, azzz, and the canuk.

Sometimes when you try to post you get a warning message similar to the flood control. Only this is anti-spam. It has took me three attempts to post at times. Very frustrating. I think I would rather read the spam, or ignore it. :)

Just saw it for the first time.

It was none of the things which the "Anti Spam" page said it might be. I was just trying to start a thread.

I don&#39;t see how it could have ben spam, tho&#39; I suppose that depends on your point of view.

If the forum decides that all of my threads / posts are spam, then there is little point in being here. I will wait to see how this new "feature" works out.

Interesting development though.
