slow real slow

Hi everyone, what is going on with CF forum. There is almost no posts, especially not about sailing. 3 days no post in multihull section. Am I bit behind and missing where real chat is going on, or actually interest in sailing and especially multihull is down 90 %?

Mate, you shouldn't denigrate yourself, slow is what it is, much like lagoons and some mono's, (who mentioned the humble Fisher).

CF down 90% Other forums with more helpful less cynical posters up 150% - so overall an increase in 60% (just made that up as have no stats available to back it up - just gut feel.)

923 members visited CF in the past 24 hours but I dunno how many posts were made.

Re: slow real slow

in the geographic area with the most members, it’s time for spring work and getting boats launched. Conversely, on the other side of the planet, it’s almost time to wrap the season up and do that work.

The economy is squeezing a lot of people right now and I’m sure everyone is pretty busy trying to figure that out.

That's why I haven’t been on here posting. just flat out busy. Maybe others are having a similar situations.

I am busier with commissioning than a blonde in a navy town.
The only reason I am posting is because of the weather, (stupid rain)

Re: slow real slow

Many on CF including the 'managers ' are very touchy and canceling which inhibits posting anything meaningful. This leads to fewer posts and a boring time wasting forum. Pablum.

Re: slow real slow

I was wondering this a week ago. It seems contributors are absent on CF these days. Notably in the Meets&Greets category. An indicator no one is signing up. I feeling some of the newer members might not even have a boat yet.
