It's only done this since byc is down too lol

It's probably the influx of all the new people lol

Okay...so this forum (meaning backyardherds) is pretty dead it seems. Most of the threads seem old and not a lot of new going on except in the chicken world. I'm sure we've overwhelmed the system.

I just started a thread in the bee area with no action.

I browsed thru all the topic forums...very little activity anywhere and a lot of it old, weeks and months old.
But the social forum looks to be alive and kicking(and don't think it's just the BYC influx).
Reminds me of the old Yahoo chat rooms......all just a bunch of jabberin'.
And I'm not much of a chatterer, can't keep up on those chat threads.

Wonders if the new software will put off activity on BYC when we go back there?
Wonders of that's what happened here too....not sure of how long this site has been using this software?

I don't chat much, but I do blather on occasion, especially when there are so chicken few questions to be answered or even browsed.

Yeah, I noticed, for example, when I click on a photo from the "photos by our members" thing on the home page, it's always a year or more old haha of course I've only clicked on a few dog pics but still.

And yeah, I am subscribed to coffee and granny cant wait and i cant keep up there

I hope everyone stays on BYC

Many of the regular BYH members are just staying away if the 'users online" window is any indication. Posting elsewhere on the web perhaps, as even the journal section is much less active than it normally is. I steered completely clear of BYH from last Friday morning until last night, which is unusual for me, but I knew from the previous few days that herd related activity was going to be very low.
Will they come back?
Maybe.
I'm sure the page hits, views, ads viewed, and other stats is off the graph, but the same activity and slow loading has made the usability of BYH at least temporarily unattractive for many members. And let's be honest. Most people don't post just to give their keyboard a workout--the social aspect is that they/we like to see their/our posts viewed and responded to. Why bother, if within minutes, that post or thread will be pushed off 'recent posts', down the page somewhere and the only way BYH folks see it is to scroll thru the different sections? I have seen problems myself even getting a post to show up after clicking 'submit' today.
This is normally a busy time of night, at BYH.

BYH has never been a big 'chat' thing anyway (until now).
Here's what showed up as "similar thread" history under this thread:
As you can see, there has traditionally been very little appetite here for "chat".

I have been recognized. Hopefully things will slow down here by tomorrow. I will occasionally hang around as there's some good information on this site.
