Yep, I dip in and out of forum life these days. Quieter time of year in the business, and kids all settled into school, so actually have a bit of time to myself at the moment. As you say, as that changes, I won’t be here posting regularly. I can’t believe people constantly sit in front of the forums day in day out, week in week out, month in month out? Do they?

To be honest, I am surprised that the guys have kept me as a Moderator as I visit here so infrequently these days.
But, in fairness, I was there as part of the original group that set this place up – so maybe it’s that.
Forums are funny places – some people can come across as real basket cases, and others come across very aggressive, but I have met dozens of the guys from here over the years and I can’t say there has been a bad person amongst them.

Which I always thought was an important part. It is after all not all about posting or editing/moving/deleting posts.
Re: The death of a forum
Having been a not so frequent poster on the forum, but since November a sponsor of a current player on the CT, I feel somewhat free to a degree to be able to post on here again without redress from a seemingly inflated ego. Yes, I have sailed close to the wind in my comments, on this forum in the past, to those who run (ahem) the BDO, Des, etc... Nice to be back!

From a personal perspective I am back posting (for no other reason than I seem to have a bit of ‘me time’ whilst business is quiet and the children are growing up) and it seems to be a nicer atmosphere than the last time I was here.
There are always going to be ‘keyboard warriors’ and negative posters, like there are in all walks of lives, but for me it is still the best DARTS forum on the net, and long may that continue.
I don’t think the ‘glory days’ will ever return, but again, that’s just the way life is with social media etc.
Facebook and Twitter will always have the very latest news and results first, but I think there is still a place for a forum like this; competitions, q&a, extended discussions etc.
The fact that you are reading this now shows there is still a place for us on the Internet!

Strange how posters are coming back whilst IFM is in mid-flounce.

Re: The death of a forum
The forum hasn't been like this in years - just two persons "gone" and no longer 15 times "$person who is currently on your ignore list, made this post." on every page.

I haven’t been around in months, so don’t know what it has been like, but people definitely seem upbeat about the place again?
