I've had a few folks tell me they pay less attention to the active list these days.
Does that mean that those folks are less active?
I don't mean any 'hidden insight' here. I just mean that more then a few folks have mentioned not watching the active list as much as they used to.. make of it what you will...

Things will return to normal soon.

A lot of members pretending to be normal
Yep, it's the time of the year when SO's want to get you to actually DO something. As if sitting in front of a computer wasn't doing something...
I took an early break in May
I spanked everything on the ski season... :)
It is also traditional dog days of summer, summer fair/festival, and prep for school season here.
No worries.

I like to say that norwegian and english are both my 0.5st languages. :)
It's that time of year. UK'ers are all on holiday.
Yep - I am sure things will pick up in a couple of weeks both on WW and in all traffic.
Dont people from the States have holiday this time of year too? - (Kids in Summercamp or wherever?- Moms and Pappas on Vacation?)
Mad dogs and Englishmen
Aside from prep for school season, holiday, outing, outdoor BBQing, more family time, out by the swimming pool (do they have those in the UK), fishing and beach season, plus SES this week, it's also scramble time in preparation for the coming holiday season.
Small ecom merchants are already feeling pressure and inquiring after promotion left and right - and getting sites geared up to be ready in time.
>>moribund
I woke up on a Monday morning, not exactly the busiest time of all with morning coffee high on the priority list, to 17 active threads with today's date in the Supporters forum. I'd hardly call that moribund.;)
>>"supporters forum" should, for the sake of the future of WW as a whole, be rethought.
That forum serves a specific and important purpose for a good number of our members and has its own unique appeal and benefits. There's a slightly different type of discussion and a difference in the depth of sharing.
An online community is all about serving the needs of members.
>>pizzazz
How are you defining pizzazz? I'm not so sure that pizzazz and volume are necessarily synomymous - at least not from my view point considering what I personally look for. If we're talking about sheer excitement, there will most likely never again be the excitement of Google update fever.
If you read hard you'll find clues of plenty coming to be excited about. Stay tuned. ;)
Cannot say I miss the Google update fever.
Plenty to be excited about, maybe just maybe this is the lull before the storm.
2 weeks without an OFFICIAL gizmo quiz is the first clue. The devil is in the details.
I have to admit that I kind of do miss it. What I don't miss are the multiple posts asking when the update would start, has it started yet, announcing that it started when it didn't, and is it over. I also don't miss the snitch posts once the updates hit and the heated white hat discussions that would ensue and never get anyplace. thankfully, those are a thing of the past.
>>2 weeks without an OFFICIAL gizmo quiz is the first clue
That'll never do, we'll have to check into it. Plus, I guess everyone's feet are doing OK lately. ;)
Some amount of slowdown in SHEER VOLUME is attributable in measure to a rolling back in the Google forum.
This is a calm before a storm. A few of us have been seeing something and are on the edge of our seats waiting for the next thing that hits.
Far from it in fact.
My comment wasn't prompted by the number of posts, but by the apparent lesser involvement by many of the established and valued members.
Hopefully it's just a short term hiatus, but if not.......
It’s exciting waiting, and anyway change is always interesting and a challenge. Certainly time for some of them.
Yes you are right the updates were fun but wading through the posts daunting, looking for that little gem of information or insight.
New days are a coming.
If it's what I'm thinking not everyone will be happy. But the wait is exciting, though I don't think we'll have to wait too much longer.
However, July was *my* lowest posting month EVER and the slowest I'd let the homepage get since we started it as a log. All that was because I was involved in moving across the country and a few other activities.
I'm back.... :)
