# I imagine the lack of comments is going to get worse.
If you post stuff and no-one says anything about it, you'll be less likely to comment on other people's work.
The whole mood seems to have gone a bit sour, with more excited responses to posts that don't abide by the FAQ than there are for good pictures.
I wish Moggy, Goodbye Fuckers and Clay were still here. Then at least we could have some fun bullying them off again :)

# Yeah I was actually quite glad to see those few Moggy posts the other day
It's like when you have a TV sitcom where the main character is an obnoxious bastard, say like Blackadder. You watch all the episodes thinking what a dick he is, then you see one where he's up against, say, the German "I voz zer sheep" guy played by Hugh Laurie, and suddenly you find yourself routing for Blackadder because, he may be a cunt, but he's OUR cunt.

# Haha, yeah, kind of.
I lurked for a while before I joined, but I've still only been aware of b3ta for about 5 years and it does seem to have gradually declined in that time but recently at an accelerated rate.
I think it's partly to do with fickle, moody twits like me who can't decide whether to be nice, sarcastic or generally rude and occasionally post a half-arsed photoshop in order to justify not fucking off to /talk.
Sorry.

# Oh, yeah, and the blatant favouritism doesn't help.
My pic has been in the top 3 popular of this week's compo since day 1. No's 1 and 2 are both on the front page. But do I get a front page? Do I bollocks.

# i agree with the lack of comments
i sometimes spend hours on a pic, admittedly it's usually hours wasted, and the are pics usually shit.
sometimes i'll get one or maybe two comments, but then i'll notice it's appeared on the popular page.
i dunno, i think i'd rather have someone say something than anonymously click.
(unless of course the likes are counted and displayed for your own posts like the are on links)
clay and goodbye fuckers were good, it's a shame they're gone.
moggy, not so much

# ^ this, and,
let's not forget Fiend and Hedgehog from Hell, two b3tans we could have done without losing.

# I didn't know HfH was gone as well.
Shame.

# It's even more disheartening for people who don't get comments OR on the popular page.
Particularly noobs I'd imagine. I sometimes chuck in a pity reply, but tbh I'm here less and less because it's all just gone a bit too quiet.
I often find that when I do decide to do a bit of b3ta-ing, everyone has gone to bed...

# it's very rare that i get on the popular page, and i hardly look there anyway.
if i like something, or think something deserves some recognition i usually say something.

# I'm a bit slack in that respect.
It's hard to know what to say beyond 'haha' sometimes.
But that's still probably better than nothing, I suppose.

# Moggy livens the board
but is no loss. In fact you might say the downhill trend started about the time she started posting in earnest. Jus' sayin'.

# If that's right, I'd say it's a coincidence.
I really can't imagine dave putting people off posting here.
I dunno. I wonder what everyone does with their time these days?
I've got hooked on an online game.
Maybe that could be next week's qotw - 'where the fuck did everyone go, and why?'

# That's a shit idea. Fuck off.

# Indeed.
I think a lot of opinion was divided. Some people, such as myself, didn't like Moggy after the peado posts. I have to confess I was surprised that some people I respected didn't seem to care too much just because there were giggles to be had. I cannot possibly talk for anyone else, but for me, it was a step too far even for B3ta and a lot of the time if I logged on and she/he was flavour of the day i logged out again.
I know I don't add a lot of laughs here but I'm part of the commenters and clickers.
