Yeah I've noticed that a lot of people who posted when I first joined have left. It really just doesn't seem the same anymore, alot of the time it feels like boards is the online version of joe Duffy. People have three or four posts and mainly sign up to rant about something.

howsyourtusk · 31-03-2012, 13:51

Left and came back.

Yeah you do notice that. I find that you generally see posters like above on the mobile phone threads, bargain alerts and the consumer affairs. I came on here looking for advice, but I'd like to think that I've given a lot back also.
