Am I the only one who feels this way...or has PT really changed recently?

[carole]

Well i think i could be almost classed as an old timer now coming up for my fourth year, i really have no complaints, i am the only NZer who seems to stay with PT, but i love it here, some days i stay for ages ,other times for a short while really depends on my mood and what interests me, you know what might appear boring to one is not necessarily to others, i can see how the I am bored threads fustrate people, but sometimes i check them out, because usually when someone is writing something like that, they may need just a bit of cheering up,so i don't think we should be too harsh.

I have had my differences with a few like everyone else, but nothing that would keep me away from PT,I have come close to that way of thinking but then i told myself what the heck,I am not going to let a little tiff ruin my enjoyment here,so here i am, i envisage myself to be here ten yrs from now, I have gained so much from this site, education being one of them, i am so in tune with my cats now because of PT, and i have become a much more involved member of society because of it, so i have nothing but praise for it's wonderful member's,who have given me so much advice and support and caring over the years, and of course to the Karen and Paul , thanks so much for starting this website, i am sure my views are shared by many others.

It is sad some of you feel disillusioned with PT, i really think it is what you make it .

Amen to that, Carole.

People seem to come and go here on PT. However, the long time members are still here. Maybe not posting as much, but hey, everyone has lives. I don't post as much as I used to either. Doesn't mean I think it's lost it's luster. I've also taken a break from here. I love it here and will never give it up. I consider the members of PT my cyber-family. Don't know what I'd do without them.

To be honest I just go and scan on this site,

I only reply to the intresting posts because if there boring I just flip by, I feel kinda bad doing this but that's just how I am, even if somthing is sad I'll just scan it because I feel I'll get bored with the loonnnggg threads.

PT is not realy boring .. altho I wish more people would join lol.

I do agree with you popcornbird.. I have nocited that this board has gotten a little quiet.. maybe it because of all thre trolls? or maybe its because us "long time" members are growing up.. and we all have busy lives and no so much free time to come on pettalk... I do have to say though (Its great to see everyones *new and old* members replying on this thread!!!)
I really think we all need to start posting again, more and more.. I miss all you guys!! member the HUGE christmas card swaps we would participate in, and the gift exchanges!!!

i bet everyone of the "long time members" wrote a thread about the big changes (good or bad) in their lives then we would know why people have been "missing" or not around as much. I know I have changed ALOT since I first joined this board many years ago.
