Yeah this is what I meant, how when certain people post less other gravitate to different social interactions.

Just to clarify to everyone, I didn't mean the dynamic changing was a bad thing, it was just something I noticed happens every few months.

..is that the same as a 'dynamic change' though..people post more or post less all the time for different reasons...with the example of the chat threads, it was always said that Scott was a huge contributory to one of them being busier so now he's back, it's not so much of a change but just more going back to how it always was so far as I remember...and people do 'move on' also..with jobs etc so there will be 'gaps' because of that but then other new members come...I still think the dynamics as such of the forum don't change as such...maybe you're just seeing it from a different perspective of being a regular member now but that it's more or less always been how it is now..?..

Everything you have mentioned changes the dynamics of the forum though Ammi?

Every little change on the forum means a change to the dynamics of the place...

..it's hard for me to say about Nailsworth just because I rarely post in there but with The Lounge, I think it's always been a wider group of people which is why it's always The Lounge and not 'named' as such..?..so for me it's more of an 'ebb and flow' thing rather than a dynamic change...maybe there are dynamic changes if someone (a regular poster) actually left completely... but maybe more for the people they spoke to regularly and not so noticeable for others ...or at least not change their 'dynamics'...I guess it's all just a subjective thing...

That's exactly what I was talking about with my posts though and what I took Ben to be meaning too, in fact isn't the meaning of 'dynamic' something like things constantly in motion? and I think that's exactly what the forum is, constant moving on, changes, new members, old members returning and so on.

I'm not saying any of it happens in a bad way it's just essentially what always happens.

..ahh I see what you mean, it probably does just a natural thing and one thing kind of 'replaces' if something else goes but it seems gradual so it's not always noticeable and maybe some people that only post in certain sections may hardly notice it at all...I guess it's just the way of forums...

..but yes Marsh, you've changed since you lost your 08.....
