I see lots of really good posts with mostly only one or two comments. Big and empty is how I see is it normal now. Before it was like a cosy warm room where everyone interacted. Who feels the same?

It's because the 'front-line' moderation has been removed, so more posts get through, but fewer are around long enough for a long discussion to take place. So now you get one or two that become a hotbed of activity whilst the rest are left to wither in solitude :P
Also, about moderation - I think we were initially told that questions reported by users as inappropriate would be checked by moderators, but I don't think that's the case. I think questions that are reported are instantly removed. I'm not even sure there are any moderators (except us).
did we get a lot of new people? i was just looking at comments didn't recognize a lot of names. the posts seem to be written by teen-ageres. i dont know
When you get cretins posting absolutely STUPID questions like, "Why does he stare at me like this? What's he thinking?", how can anybody stay interested in IIN. Another can't figure out why their cheap bathroom scale isn't as accurate as the one in their doctor's office. Really?
I think it's more the lock of intelligent and interesting questions, rather than a lack of answers.
This place seems to be at a low point now. I remember this place having many interesting people, posts, and advice two years ago. I'm hoping it'll get better soon because I miss the wonderful advice I used to get from the users.
I've been here for a little over 4 years now. It seems like things were more thought out, original, and unusual in earlier days. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm losing interest or because I'm older now. Could just come down to that really.
I think as people age they may lose interest in some things and as a result the become nostalgic for times that were more exciting. You know, like as you age you've seen more and less of the world is 'fresh'. I still see neat posts here and there though.
I've been reading for a couple years. Just recently signed up, though I don't know why.
disting pretty well summed it up. A lot of good members, who posted well written, thoughtful comments and stories, seem to have left.
The new (lack of) moderation ruined it.
Just this morning I clicked on a random post and as I started reading through it and the comments I was like, "Nice, this one is pretty good/well though out/insightful. Is this a new one?"
Nope. Posted 4 years ago.
It's definitely on a down period. Here's to hoping it swings around again.
Edit: Oooh, also at least now we can get out the little cart things and sprint down aisles riding on the back of them! :D
I haven't commented for a while, ive been in the chat room and have recently come back to the post, and I don't think theyre as bad as they were.. haha the chat room has lifted too but with new users who I think are underage! :O but yeh. Meh IIN what more can you expect?
