It's an interesting observation.
At the time i tend to log on (between 9 and 10pm UK time) Pixies is almost totally dead. I have frequently been here and there has been no post in over an hour. On some occasions i have posted and filled up a full page of new posts without another name breaking it up.
The reason I originally started visiting Pixies, was because by the time i stopped being Mr Family Man each evening, it was too late to do much with my hobby (writing and recording music). It was great to see the banter in smut games and i loved it dearly. I do love it still when it it is busyer. And the adult side of things was rather appealing too of course.
I have got so fond of some people. But things are changing for me. My youngest is nearly 10 and likes to hog the computer as much as me. And I find I am not doing anything constructive as i appear to be addicted to Pixies even when it is dead!
Now i regularly kick my own ass and make myself do other stuff, leaving pixies up and running, intermitantly looking to see whats happening. I even started to get the music thing happening again. But the result is that I hardly post any more.
A couple of weeks back I even asked Lillith if it was possible to delete my ID to force myself to be more sensible in how I used my time. I will be suprised if i leave Pixies entirely... I am far too adicted, but lately it has become more like another place i go to check my mail. And of course, as i'm not very active these days, even my pm box is feeling rather rested, lol.
Now this isn't a complaint please note... just an observation of how changes in life effect things and how weak willed i am!!!!
It surely has to be true that new blood is needed to keep things interesting and stop it dying out altogeather eventually.
