LAST POST - THANKS & Goodbye
I'm an illogical person.

I have already debunked all these arguments, please check the link to the historic posting levels of this group. The altraps people need to face the fact that not only is their project failing, but their failure is also killing this newsgroup, no amount of launching ad hominems at me will change this fact of objective reality. At least your response is more intellegent that ebrian's, who continues to use nothing other ad hominem to respond to my arguments, not being able to do so logically. I am not sure what you imagine I am chained to, my words are simple enough. Thank you for your contribution to usenet. Cheers. Jawz wrote:

Dude, give it up about the mass defection bit ... Just think about these factors when considering lowering levels of posting: 1. The team sux, and that is directly proportionate to the level of posting because in the Raps case, we are a team of bandwagon following. 2. Arguments have led to misunderstandings, misunderstandings have led to some key people leaving the group. 3. No one is carrying newsgroups anymore 4. Dejanews had an amazing UI, for those surfing from college/work, Google could never match it. 5. People who were regular posters are now in different stages of their lives, and I'm sure most of the college students posting then, have moved on to busier schedules. (I'm one of them). Altraps isn't doing all that well either. Check the Ratio of Spudz, Scott, Ebrian and Cyber posts vs the rest, and you'll see a pretty bad picture. Seriously dude, let it go. This was just a place to hang out ... like your favourite pub .. and now it's no longer there because ... no just because period. don't chain yourself up to a tree that's destined to be cut down.

If the same volume of contributions made to this group and altraps combined, where all made in this group.. in otherwords if you take all the threads that where started on altraps and started them here instead, it would have generated a lot more discussion. The defection of many of the most active contributors of this forum to altraps, where their contributions are unable to create sustained dialog because of many usability issues, including the lack of threading, poor quoting model and new posts being often hard to find, is killing the community. you can find historic posting levels here:http://groups.google.com/group/alt....ba.tor-raptors/... It is obvious that current low posting levels are unrelated to any seasonal lull in discussion, but are the specific result of certain leaders within this community organising a mass defection to an inadequate forum. In anycase, I am hoping that "The Axis" has made his last post because it is time for him to retire along with Beans Baxtor and MayorTommy, and that he will invent a brand new character for the comming season. Cheers.
