Couple of years ago it was thriving. It was a major destination for cats like me to take a load off , chill out for a second, and shoot the chit. It was really bustling.

Any hope from anyone of ever bringing back to yesteryear ??

    We seem to have some mods moving threads into the OT - ones that just don't fit anywhere else, I guess. Most of them should have been deleted as "unrelated to IM"...in my opinion.

    So, no, I don't think it will go back to what it was...darn it.

    I think I found the flaw in your argument.

    You think you are a cat.

    From what l have seen, the mods are working hard at improving everything except the most obvious visual issues. Typically the ones an IM with wads of cash will see, and most likely go elsewhere, where it is more functional, and nicer looking.

    I have certainly tried, but there is a big difference between a paid mod, and one that isn't.

    PS this smiley is smiling l think!

    Certain people left. Certain people are still here.

    So, no. The glory days are over.

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

      Most of what gets posted on the forum belongs in a crap folder. The mods just don't understand it.

    Maybe the glory OT days are gone.
    : (

    However those of you that are left (including yourself Robert, and Kay, and Dennis, and Claude, and loads more) ... Can keep it a good place still. Personally I enjoy posting here even though it's not as great as it used to be.

      FYI - that's actually NOT the first time that I have been referred to as a 'load.' You were referring to me, right? lol

      Thank you. I think.
