Do you post more or less on DU than when you first started? |

took me 3 years to get to 1000; faster after that; lightning speed after discovering the lounge.
of course the quality of my posts decreases with their speed; exponentially decreases since arriving in the lounge.

I'm shy at first. It' takes me a while to get comfortable with everyone.
Now, you can't shut me up. :P

I rarely comment in GD, and usually don't in LBN, either - just read the news.
Now, this isn't really saying much, as I've been here since '02 and don't even have 5000 posts yet (I don't think - need to check).
Took me a while to get the hang of being chatty in print. Lots of times I'll start a reply, then axe it and never post it.
On edit: I checked, I've got 5161 posts. Things have sped up in the last few months, but I'm still a leisurely, sedate poster. :P

12. probably about the same, maybe a little less... |
|
...but not much. I'm a spotty poster-- my posts tend to come in clumps because sometimes I spend a lot of time on DU for a few days, then little or no time for several days before coming back for another round.

13. More, but then I hardly posted for the first 3 years... |
|
Then, when I interacted a bit more, I then read how DU was changed for the worse... Wow... what a let down, since almost all that time, I was only reading GD and GDP.
Never visited the lounge until later last year... which makes me wonder - should I have just started here? It might have made it a bit better before doning my occasional boxing gloves (which I hesitate to do these days)
And YOU?

I was posting 50 - 80 post a day. Now I probably post 3- 20 at the most per day. I guess I post less now because I am a little less crazy than I was when I started. Also a few of my friends who i talked to allot here don't hardly post anymore.

19. About the same. Except for a 6 month lay off a couple of years ago |
|
my posting has been pretty consistent. I've been here almost 5 years and have somewhere around 14,000 posts. Not the most prolific, but pretty consistent. I post a lot more on the weekends. Never had much time to post through the week.

Not that I ever posted a lot before - hence, the < 1700 post count since joining in 9/04. I guess I'm a man of few words.

23. Way more now then when I started. |
|
When I joined DU, my computer wasn't plugged in to the net. I posted from libraries and stuff. I didn't get Internet at my house until 2003. After I'd been at DU for two years. Now, I post nearly every day right from my home.

24. I post more in the Lounge than I did way back when, that's for sure. |
|
But as for total post count, I'd say that my activity kind of comes and goes in waves.

25. More than when I first started but less |
|
than in my heyday. :D
To tell the truth, I've found that posting in GD is rarely a rewarding experience and I've used the Loungers so often as my online-therapy group that I feel self-conscious posting there. I still love DU but I tend to read more than post, nowadays.

Way more!
And I'm not sure why...
But I do truly feel as though all of you are my extended, online family...
And I want to be in touch...

I think I had less than 25 posts until recently, but I read DU voraciously. But it's gotten so wicked on some of the other forums, and I still have my DU addiction, so I come here to hide in the Lounge. I had wondered where all the nice people were, now I know. :)

29. Less. I used to feel smarter or at least better informed after reading DU... |
|
Edited on Tue Jan-15-08 03:52 PM by Richardo
Now, the political 'discussion' is strident, close-minded and way more hysterical than it used to be. I don't feel more informed at all. Quite the opposite, in fact.
...and I'm not getting much traction with my posts in the Lounge anymore. :shrug:

:hi:
I wondered where you were hiding!!
oh, and belated happy anniversary! :party: :party: :party:
I remember when you and salin and nsma were in the lounge all the time... but I posted in LBN and GD until I thought it was bad for my health to hear all the infighting during the 2004 elections.
so, now I'm back and I've been posting in the lounge to avoid the screamers in GD (P). I was posting a lot over the winter break but now I have to get back to work so I won't be posting as much, but I'll probably try to read, unless DU gets to be too much - for a variety of reasons.
I see Salin isn't posting as much either since she moved and started her new job. What happened to nsma? why was she tombstoned? Are you still bicycling a lot? Inquiring minds want to know.
