More than just Cellerites missing...

Did something get changed? Every area I click on only has maybe a dozen threads now where there used to be many pages of them.

What's up with IotD? Almost no new posts this entire month, and only 9 threads show up going in from the main forum! I have the IotD archive bookmarked, and when I tried clicking on links older than the oldest one on the IotD main page they came right up no problem.

I am confused. And worried. Where's everyone and all the history? Are we broken?

Bruce has left us so there are no new IotD posts and it is probably going away. Everything else is normal.

The Cellar: Going for the gold in normalcy, will settle for not being disqualified

QUOTE:

Normalcy vs. normality

Normality and normalcy are different forms of the same word. Normality is centuries older, though, and many English authorities consider it the superior form, for what that’s worth. Nouns ending in -cy usually come from adjectives ending in -t—for example, pregnancy from pregnant, complacency from complacent, hesitancy from hesitant—while adjectives ending in -l usually take the -ity suffix. Normalcy is unique in flouting this convention.

Maybe Snakeadelic was volunteering to take on IOTD?



I believe it's still for anyone to post 'em if they got 'em, right?



Also, summer is slow season. always. We've realized there's something out there......

No. That's just not right.

Dude, you can't let IotD die. That is what has driven so many people here.

There have been a few times where xoB posted a reply in the wrong thread. Perhaps the condition has progressed and he's now posting on the wrong websites.

No new users in quite a long time.

It is not linked to any longer and its RSS feed and blog view are old technologies.

You do it. It was made open to anyone a long time ago.

I get the having time thing. I don't get the complaining about IotD or the lack thereof.

I think our more modern day IotD is gravdigr's Today in History thread. I really like that. I learn stuffs.

It's all good content. We just don't always get what we want...sometimes you just might find, you get what you need.
