    Default Wassappened?

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think that perhaps the Art of Sound has misplaced a little of it's 'zip' lately?

    If this carries on, I won't even be registering on Dave Cawley's thread 'Pick of The Pops: The Top 20 Posters on the AoS' , which, incidentally folks is only 2 months away from a 'From the Grave' update.

    Every forum falls into the doldrums during the summer months when folks are away on holiday

    I hinted at this in one of my "Spinning Today" posts, and I think Frank is right, it's holiday silly-season at work too, can't get anything done as everyone is on holiday...

    Marco will be back soon too, which will cheer things up a bit - I almost missed him!

    It's the holidays and most forums are a bit quiet at the moment.

    Sure they will pick up when everyone gets back and needs something to do to pass the time at work...

    I wouldn't worry, chaps - everything is fine and dandy with overall activity well up on this time last year

    Besides, on AOS, posting quality is always much more important than posting quantity or frequency....

    People come and go as they please - sometimes real life gets in the way of one's forum hi-fi and music shenanigans
