# Do you think people posting freebase pics has driven other people away
and that's why it's been getting quieter here?

# Well I moved house and haven't assembled my computer.
So I can't do any new pics as I just have a poorly equipped laptop atm.
Also, I got a job, so should be asleep now, anyway.
Never felt the urge to do a freebase pic myself, but I don't dislike them...

# i don't know if it's freebase specifically
but there are times when you see a hundred slight variations of the same pic, which can get tiresome. I doubt it matters during the gay shift as there's never anyone here anyway

# I've been looking at qotw more than I used to, as it's got quiet here.
I often find that I've missed an interesting thread and it's too late to reply to it.
Maybe others do the same and so the quietness is self-reenforcing.

edit: well, not just qotw but 'other' websites too.

# i can see this one working

# meh
nothing wrong with a meme... it's a group of people who obviously find a certain image funny so want to use it in many different variations. Nothing is stopping the other people posting other shoppery. Perhaps it's just chance that it's quieter but i haven't really noticed much difference in traffic than usual, come 12 oclock, B3ta can be 'dead' anyway so to speak.

# Well, I don't think you would've posted the above teletubbies pics at noon.

# Honesly, I don't look at the clock when I post. Why would I, or anyone else for that matter?
I don't get that at all. I just make stuff and post it.
If I don't post at noon board-time very often, it's because that's 7:00am where I live, and I'm usually asleep.
If I kept UK/European hours, I'd post earlier board-time, although I'd probably try to stay up for gayshift because I love the company.

Edit: you didn't answer my question either, which is up to you of course, but I was interested to know what you thought.

# I think it's more of a symptom of other people leaving rather than a cause
they all leave, freebase becomes more apparent.

That said I would like it if we found something new to snarn about but I'm kind of dry on suggestions.

# Other things will come along, they always do.
Personally I think Freebase got overused, although on the other hand I still think it's funny sometimes.
I hope the recent quietness here is a phase. One thing is, there are lots of other easy options now for sharing the kind of pics we post here, and I think that's a big factor.
