USVI-On-Line

I'm wondering if something is wrong with my forum. I haven't been seeing many new posts- where is everyone?

I'm here. was wondering the same thing today.

I was wondering the same thing right this very second. Some posts have been viewed hundreds of times but only have a few replies. Do you think all those people are just reading and not registering?

That will be too bad.

I am with you guys. I actually had time to post from work today and it was dead.

I need a trip report!

i was wondering the same thing too. doesn't seem the same as the old forum. trip reports, villa questions, all that kind of stuff. i miss it.

Busy, busy, busy...one of those errand days and then things to do at home. Also I've been looking for an underwater camera case. But they sure are expensive. After buying 4 pair of fins last week, and two pair of prescription masks, and 5 new tires, alignment and oil change for sons car, I think we'll have to sit back and think about spending $165 for a waterproof case.

A couple of months ago, this place was hopping. Must be really slow on island at this time of year. Okay, I know how to get things going again.

Nekkid.

There. Everyone discuss.

I was thinking the same thing"where is everybody" but then I realized that somehow I had gotten VI Now forum mixed up with this new one! I didn't recognize any names! But now I'm back!!!

I'll definitely be watching - tell us the date and the time! I'll also be thoroughly jealous.....!

This is always the slowest time of the year - end of summer, vacations, back to school, etc. I was actually thinking this place was very hopping. We are closing in on 400 registered users in a couple of weeks, so it isn't the lack of people. And the lurkers who just read (met several on St. John last week - you know who you are!) never post anyway

I mean this as no offense to Anthony's hard work, but I personally think the new forum makes it harder to jump into a topic. In the old forum, you could view the entire thread and add your two cents in the middle of a thread. Or, if you saw a post by someone like, oh, say, Bandit, you could just reply to that for the sport of it. Now, you have to be interested enough in the original topic to open it and go through all of the posts.

I think it is having a bit of a chilling effect. That said, I don't know what else Anthony could have done. Perhaps the old thread formatt could be combined with a log-on feature. I dunno.

Pete put it perfectly.

There's something cumbersome about the process now. The same thing happened when the AOL travel boards changed their format.
