# And then there was a dog!


Hands up who's lurking and can't be arsed to reply anymore?
Without lovely, lovely feedback it's not surprising people can't be arsed to post pictures.
Come on, it's a Thursday with a new image challenge, this place should be going like shit off a shovel :(

# I think that's just because it's one small group holding the place together/keeping posting
the only way to diversify and break any sense of a clique is to encourage more posting

# Most forums I read are slower than they used to be, not just b3ta.
My theories are either that people prefer to share a joke or opinion on Twitter because they prefer the speed of that, or that simply forums tend to grow up with their users.

I'd imagine that the average b3tan age is probably 30-something now, an age where you tend to also lose interesting friends in the real world to marriage, babies and mortgage talk.

# there's a lot of funny out there as well

don't use twitter for sport and my following celebrities is limited.
I just spew my caustic opinion on what's on my tv, and post pictures.
it's a bit like being on /board/talk without the wankers

# The stream of consciousness element of Twitter is still quite bewildering to me.
I don't really give a fuck what some random person is looking at/eating/thinking about doing right now.
I use it, but mostly just to keep up with bands, artists, directors and TV shows I admire/enjoy.

Simple truth is I've run out of ideas, I had very few to begin with, and they've completely dried up.

Also, I don't really understand the drugs thing.
