Why has this forum stagnated?

Hi

I've been reading this forum for the past year and in the last month or so (post wsop) it hasn't been worth visiting. Have people lost interest in posting or have they gone to other forums?

I blame YULETIRED, he has dragged the forum down to his level. This palce used to be a hotbed of cutting edge poker discussion, now it just a place for lame jokes and videos of Carmen Electra's ass.

speaking of lame jokes, I related this in the SE last night and nearly got killed for it:

a man is dressed in a tracksuit and wandering around the stadium in Beijing carrying a long package. He is approached by a fan:

"excuse me, are you a pole vaulter?"

"nein, I am German"

Pretty standard for this time of year in my limited experience of this place. Plus we're going through a recession don't you know. Doom and gloom are the order of the day....

An English prisoner of war was held by the Germans. The Englishman was shot all over the place, and okay until one day when the German told him, "Englander, your arm is infected with gangrene we must cut it off."

The English prisoner said, "Well, okay, but could you drop it over England when you go bombing."

The German replied, "Ya, das vill not be einen problem gibetten."

A few weeks later zie German tells the Englishman that they have to cut his other arm off. The Englishman says, "Well, could drop it over England like you did last time."

"Ya, das vil be done," roars the German.

The next day the German tells him that they have to cut his leg off. Once again the Brit says, "Well, could you do the same as before."

The German bellows, " ya. nicht problemengibbeten"

The next zie old German tells him they have to cut his other leg. "Well," begins the Brit, "could you just..."

The German snapped, "NEIN! Schveinhund. We think you are trying to escape!."


IM SO SORRY.

Sorry if this sounds a little sarky, but perhaps if you contributed more postwise it would help the forum to un-stagnate? I understand people can be a bit shy at first, but you've been on boards almost a year now and 17 posts in total. Try to do something about the issue (as you see it) rather than just complaining.

The individual theory sub forums are where all the action is. This seems to be where the trolls hang out looking for new victims. /hides

Yes. The Irish summer has been officially designated Muslim. Occasionally sunni, but mostly shi'ite.

Hi

I'm not complaining more an observation, I think it's a great site and helps me pass the day at work.

As for contributing more posts, i'm not very good at it so will stick to the lurking for now and if I have anything positive to contribute then I'll post again.

PS I'm not a wind up merchant.

You obviously see no irony whatsoever in starting a thread criticising the contirbution of others while your own input to this forum has been minimal.

This reminds me of my many kindergarden battles, the other boys would snigger at my name, I would cry, the teacher would cuddle me in her ample bussom , I would nestle, the others would ask to borrow my pencil, I would cry, the teacher would cuddle me in her ample bussom, I would nestle. The others would ask me if I was going to the disco (moving forward may years) , I'd say no I would cry, the teacher would cuddle me in her drooping bussom, I would cry. It's not easy going through life being called Willie

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen." The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her, "That driver just insulted me!" The man says, "You go right up there and tell him off! Go ahead, I'll hold your monkey"

Emily Sue passed away and Billy-Bob called 911. The 911 Operator told Billy-Bob that she would send someone out right away.
"Where do you live?" asked the operator.
Billy-Bob replied, "At the end of Eucalyptus Drive."
The operator asked, "Can you spell that for me?"
There was a long pause and finally Billy-Bob said, "How 'bout if I drag her over to Oak Street and you pick her up there?"

These four guys were walking down the street: a Saudi, a Russian, a North Korean, and a New Yorker.

The North Korean says, "Excuse me, what's an opinion?"
The New Yorker, says, "Excuse me?? What's excuse me?"
