I'm glad we have this site and don't want to be a party pooper. But, there are a lot of people that posted on the old site that don't post on here and there was way more activity on the old forum IMO.
So, it’s not about ‘quality versus quantity’ ? :D

The 8 posts on here a day are all 10/10 quality!

Does that make you sad? I think we have a good diverse group here and once baseball happens we will have a lively discussion going just like on the Hawks forum during the draft. The place was jumping. Who on the Times forum do you miss?

Well, I do remember Darren posting twice where the forum was moving to, along with an invitation. So, perhaps folks got tired, or disinterested, or just decided they had better things to devote their time to.

Don Gorgon ;)

There were a lot of unique posters on the old forum. This site seems like there are only a few people carrying it at all times.

Perhaps you should look in the mirror and see if there is DoubleDerby in you instead of lament those that weren't able to cross the beach, climb the cliffs and teach those vixens in Gay Paris how to live with passion and fire born to be released.

Don is alive and well here and as much flak as I shoot him, he's as vital a part of this community as he was on the Times forum.

I do miss the gary lemons contributions, and I'm terrible with names, but I hope more of them come out of hiding when it starts back up also

He posts here on the Seahawks forum almost everI'my day. Goes by the name Donn Beach.

I guess you must miss some if not all of these luminaries:

Seth Reynolds
Somebody's Son
HardcoreMarinerFan
R.G.
noRm
Mac Crary

They certainly did add color to things. It helped us all understand what it might be like to live in a psych ward.
