h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Cool old Guy still trying to read between the lines
"One of my drives is:
'If something is not done, as nobody does it, I am guilty of not doing it as well.'

'Not posting is not an option' (a quote from some PS)

I do not know if there is a threshhold for postings to keep an internet community alive. I do know we are dropping at an

alarming rate. And I doubt if my contributions were some 50 postings per day.
I have seen the most 'recent postings' span 18 hours and we are at 170 postings each day.


Some more slightly philosophical issues
'Address the issue and not the Person'
( FootiNooti )

There is just one problem here. No matter how hard I calculate there is not much of a community left.

We, the community of HooToo, were appreciated by beeing the community, that was the contribution to the site. Unlike other sites where beeing accurate and proven factual (wiki) or beeing popular (facebook) is the drive, HooToo was only asking to be yourself.

I remember several attempts to start the arguement sketch by the Pythonists. It always failed, we did not want to reenact the original and all our attempts just stopped before anything like a real arguement could evolve.

I can not find anything in or between the lines stating the community is no longer part of the plan."

Cool old Guy certainly on a crossroad
"< Create > (July)

I guess I will just keep lurking (with high hope for the site from seeing some known visitors)

Or perhaps I will finally see the light, shining between the lines.


For now I only have a little less sad statistic, 171.5 postings per day over June. The last emission of the Post and replies to the front page have sparked enough discussion (?). With just over 8 new threads per day this is not really an active Society Community. "

Cool old Guy with some less depressing statistics
" We are currently at 180.5 postings per day.
Of the 8 new thread per day two are a welcome for new Researchers.

I may appear rather quiet, well I am I have been busy building or writing vessels. < A87856492 >

As well as some study regarding current state of WEB site technology. Not that there is any purpose for that as I am just patiently waiting.


Fun, then we get an announcement stating some technical progress regarding the site. Not really new; the Captcha has gone. Some obscure defect helping the return of old Researchers; not something we notice in the contributions.

Ah my question from an other Journal; we have to click the extras in Pliny to gain revenue. Well I do click when using systems that do not crash . As soon as respective page loaded I close ."

Cool old Guy completely confused
"Can accept to click on an add. Still not given any option like open new tab and beeing forced to replace your current page is not cheap.

Hope these gain a lot of revenue ."

Cool old Guy counting info list
"There has been an improvement
It used to count the conversations a bit odd 1,2,3,4 ... 18, 21, 19
Now we see a normal sequence 1,2,3,4 ... 18, 19, 20.

to the tech team "

Cool old Guy lost count
"Well,m I was sure this glitch had disappeared, as soon as I posted it went wrong again. "

Cool old Guy trying to pinpoint the intermittent bug
"The most recent conversations list functions if the flow is frequent enough. As soon as the shift frequency recedes below a treshold the bug returns. I am not going to log the list. . . "

Cool old Guy curious and trying to define a bug
"'Big Al' posted to < A76455804 > < F19282783?thread=8314245 >.
The thread appeared on the info as usual, only to disappear after more then 3 hours. (I did not find it there anymore at '4 hours ago' and I know for sure it was there at '3 hours ago' as 'Superfrenchie' posted a similar named thread < F16034?thread=8314248 > for a short moment both threads where on the info).

Most peculiar is it has also disappeared from his list of postings.

Has some similarity with my postings not appearing on the frontpage until cleared."

Cool old Guy on the info
"'Thank you for not losing your temper' "
Thud

"Experiment on the same forum does not repeat so far . . . "

Cool old Guy lubricated with lampoil
"There is a Giagantic Flaming Octopussy sliding over the playa playing with its rising tongues of fire on a mellow electronic beat. It is probably trying to escape from the 20 metres long groper chasing it with grinding dubstep teeth.

The Temple is like a snailhouse with the opening rising 15 metres tall as if inviting The Man who is trapped in a maze of art.

Weather update; 'it is colder on the 3 O'clock side and hotter on the 9 O'clock side.'


Stats for august 155.74 postings per day and some 7 new threads. "

This post has been removed.

Cool old Guy Restoring the Suject
"We have survived the Vogon Strike.

Now just hoping they do not get too annoyed by making them redundant.

Stats are DIY "

Cool old Guy reading the guide and trying to pinpoint the off balance
"Last 31 days (DIY) been searching for the incentives compared to the restrictions.

Comes to me as the incentives are now more your own . . . "

Cool Old Guy still keeping stats
"The November writing has a positive result.

Only still less then previous years."

Cool old Guy counting postings on one hand
"Happy newyear to all "

Cool old Guy 11 minutes late
"Happy February "

Cool old Guy concidering it to be spring
" we are still going up "

And a Happy March to you too

Traveller in Time checking the clock
"Oops half an our late "

So, how are the stats looking?
