Thread: Forum not as active? Answer the Poll, please!
Started 2 months ago by newhomebuilder
I have not been as active with posting because of my daughters wedding (thank goodness that is over! lol) and had been away for about a month. Once back, I have noticed that the postings have slowed down considerably. Any opinions? Does it have to do with the economy?
I would also like to do a poll of sorts (wish this website had that capability)to see how old current members/posters are, ...
I think they've been buzzing pretty good. I did notice sometimes over the weekends it seems slower. I'm a 26 year old female. I found the kitchen forum first and sadly, too late. Started posting Nov. 2007.
I'm here today, lurking as usual. I don't usually post, just try to learn. I'm 51, female, started lurking about a year ago, just trying to tweak my decorating skills and see if I could improve on my family room's appearance. (It's an odd shape, has hand-me-down furniture, and was painted a bad color.) I've since painted and rearranged and am satisfied if not completely happy. :) I think ...
I'm not sure if this board has been more or less active lately, but it seems to me that some of the regular posters from a couple years back aren't around anymore. Anyway, I'm a 30 year-old female and lurked for a while before registering in September of 2006. In April of 2006 my husband and I bought a fixer-upper and I originally came here looking for kitchen ideas. So glad I found this ...
ok, I'll play; I'm 25 and male; oops no that's not me. (although I used to be mistaken for a male, because of the name mitch that doesn't happen anymore) 57 years old , yeah, old timer, joined in 1999 although it says 2002 in my profile. It still is such fun to be here; I've been through all the trials and tribulations, changes in the forums, etc... why am I still here ?...
I've been a GW follower since 2001, more of a lurker than a poster. 53 and Female. I initially came here a few years after building our home in '96. Prior to building I bet I'd never stepped in more than a dozen new homes. How naive I was. The internet has opened my eyes! I find painting therapeutic and enjoy seeing the pictures everyone posts. We live in a rural area so homes are much more ...
I'm 48, female. I joined almost 3 years ago (12/06). I don't think things really slowed down till the last few weeks. I just attribute it to *real life getting in the way*. It's that time of year where people have lots going on. Kids are back in school, so more sports and extra-curricular activities. Holidays are just around the corner and people are gearing up for that. I think there are ...
sweeby, I keep meaning to pick your brain about your gorgeous baths with the Esmer classic tiles... but for me, I'm female, closing in on 39, restoring an 1888 storefront; however, I found GW back in 2005 when I was renovating my kitchen for $5K using IKEA and smart shopping. I went over budget by $800, but I learned a lot. I'm not as full of questions mainly because I find the search ...
49yo,2001. I stared on the garden forum trading plants, then did a kitchen remodel/update & found the kitchen forum. Now I'm redecorating around the new couch I purchased and also updating the master bedroom. I added two wingback chairs. Trying for a more traditional look. Something more timeless, less matchy matchy, but coordinated and comfortable. I just came back from a vacation. Trying...
Hi, I'm Jean and I'm a HD forum addict. I stumbled upon the GW in 2008 while researching for my Hilton Head Island renovation (hence my ID: hhireno). I found kitchens & baths forums first and then, eventually, the home decor forum. I am a 50 yo female who has learned a tremendous amount here but has hardly put any of it into practice. I also thought the forum had slowed down but maybe it...
newhomebuilder, I'm so sorry about your dad. I've had that same call before....what is it with dads and ladders!? At 75 he still thinks he's 35 :o It's nice that you can go home and help them :) Monica
monicakm - Thank you for enlightening me on MS. I should know better. Wish you all the best! lyban - I do not currently have matching wing chairs on either side of my fireplace. Did in the previous home and they were yellow/gold with red, green, salmon flowers. I posted photos of that room several time on this board. If that's what you are talking about, then it is me. :) The chairs are in my current living room and are on either side of...
Monica, I have MS. We can share stories. I am doing fine. Lynn, I have no cognitive abilities remaining, so I will not have a decline. ;-) TTodd, I have hydrangeas but they are fine. They are so big, maybe I need to cut them back or divide them someday. I had 500+ roses, but we have gotten down to about 200 now. It was just too much in my physical state and that of my DH. He had 3 strokes and 2 heart attacks, and there I am, not a darn bit of...
Patricia!!!!!! Oh no! I'm not sure exactly how long I spent on the Antique Garden Roses forum. That was when I finally decided to just do it and plant some then see what happens. I knew I wanted antiques for their hardiness and my lack of rose knowledge. Somehow I found my way to DA roses and my FIL supplied me w/ a rose bush for Christmas for quite a few yrs. I sort of stopped posting over there simply because I don't pay attention...
Thank you Patricia I needed to hear that this morning. You are a doll and quite funny. I like a woman that speaks her mind, always have. Mona thanks best friend! ....Jane
Just checked back in and saw there are 127 responses. And that helps to validate what I've always thought--that there are a hundred times as many readers as posters. I got my Picturetrail hits page in email today and the 4 pictures they include in the email had almost 400 views each. At least two of those shots are Pure Yawners...nothing pretty, just something I put in a thread in answer to a question someone had. So that shows there are...
newdawn1895, whether you like it or not, you have a NEW BEST FRIEND, ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the nice words; you made my day. And I really needed a boost right now. Mona
