If I recall correctly, the last few months have seen a strong spike in MOC postings and less in the area of complaints. (see below)

Here’s a refresh of constructive messages for you, all posted within the last two weeks.

Within the last several months or so, I have seen considerably few posts in the nature of ‘gee I’m bored, let’s initiate a posting rally to catch up with .space.’ rantings. I can only think of two traffic posts, one of which which was written two months ago

and another, written eight months ago.

The claim of these postings occuring on a ‘regular’ basis is sort of a ludicrous remark, though. Perhaps you should get over your perceptions and take a good look at the newsgroup. In the most likely case, the only traffic generators you’ll find are MOC postings.

Vouching for castle, I’d have to say that post count numbers really don’t matter in the long run. What is emphasized, though, is the exchange of inspiration, creations and concepts. There are occasional bumps in the road, but for the most part, it seems to be paved evenly.

   An anual roll call isn’t the worst example of this, but I still lump it in the same category. So call me whiney...
