The more or less doubling of registrations in the last year has increased the rate at which things move on the boards. The increased pace has prompted posters to shorten their posts considerably, just to get a word in.

I remember when I would have to get a cup of coffee to just read three or four threads at DU. It seems that people, on average, spend less time on their posts. There are some excellent threads as well as the diamond in the rough of an outstanding post in an otherwise dull thread. On FR the latter phenomenon is also evident, just far, far less often. Let's face it, FR is like DU but its inverse: the high quality of discourse is watered-down by some inane posters; FR's inanity is on occasion interrupted by a sensible remark.

Oh, "reigns."
