it was tooling on newbies who arrived by the truckload....

so you can never recapture that.

I can't speak for everyone of the "super-vets", but I can tell you that the joy I received from posting on the "old board" had nothing to do with tooling on newbies. It was the feeling that something new was going to happen at any moment and the anguish at the thought of missing the fun.

Any member could start a riotous fit of posting on a subject that more often than not might seem silly the next day. But, while you were contributing, you were refreshing like mad so as not to lose the feeling like you were involved.

Everyone was eager to post and keep posting until you met your physical and mental limit.

Nothing breeds activity like activity. That's what people miss.
