It just seems like alot of labsters are not around
anymore.

I'm fully aware of the tree -vs- flat view display.
However, it just seems like the older board had more
posts on a daily basis than this one.

Considering this is the begining of our busy season,
(Spring and all) I can understand a fewer amount of
post than usual. However, it just seems everyone has
moved on.

Am I the only one who's noticed this?

[Kurt Rivers]

Did ya know you can still get the tree view? It's on the bottom of the topics and I think on the main pages.

[Chris Cowley]

I haven't noticed - but I am new here so that may have a bit to do with it

Hello
I seem to agree. Does seem like less traffic.
Maybe people don't care for logins?

Yep, I've noticed the dropoff as well.
Lotsa nice eye candy though.
Same thing happened to the classifieds a couple
of years ago when they went all GUI.
Form trumping function ???
(Then again I'm just an old DOSser who likes playing
devil's advocate)

 I read this Board and the Lab Lounge and I think part of the drop in traffic is because a lot of the "should I buy a Midas or a M^ckie type posting is now over there.
  The intent of the Moderators was to lower the Signal to Noise Ratio and I think a lot of the newbies are taking the hint. This would, at least partially explain the drop in the number of posts showing up here.

I must admit I tend to lurk rather than post these days. I got quite comfortable in the well worn basic furniture of the old LAB, but find new LAB a brightly coloured more complex place. It just seems that the real message that matters is buried in a host of interesting but distracting icons, avatars and statistics. For me, it feels like we have lost a bit of the personal touch... Even Dave's bark seems carry a bit less 'oomph' behind his funny purple cartoon and the new LAB trimmings 8-} (or should I say )!

But, I guess we have to move with the times. Perhaps we shall one day look back and wonder how we ever managed without the turboboost of this new format.
All the best,
Carey (Newbie) D

See? So you are now a "Newbie" in the new LAB, then one day at the plant someone will give you his seat, and don't lift that  box, too heavy for you, and those new Post Digital circuits are too complex for you.... Hmmm, Carey Davies, Carey Davies..... how long you said you are working  for us?

I am glad to see your still around. I just graduated from "Newbie" to "Here Often" when I posted my 10th post. I think I am going to celebrate by going to Starbucks.

Well
I certainly can't speak for anyone but myself. But I've been on the road, and when not touring, been really busy with a couple little gigs Such as http://www.livestock14.com and others similar in nature.
I should be around a bit more in the coming up months.
