Bubba hit the proverbial nail on the head. There used to be a lot of very prolific and interesting posters. Many of the older folks who have been around a long time, well, they see the same type of posts over and over and it's not as interesting to respond to. But others always follow to fill in the holes left by ones who aren't around any longer.
I love ECCIE and it's my number one home, but I just do not post like I used to. I occasionally post a topic here and there but when I do post a topic and it goes south for one reason or another, I always hesitate to start a new one because I don't wish to deal with the bother of it.
Spotted Dick, anyone?
At any rate, there always seems to be a newer batch of interesting posters that come up and take up the slack. Females and males. I do miss some of the more ballsy females who used to post so much in days past. I cannot name names right now, heck, I cannot think of them ... but I do miss some of the old banter from years back.
It's still all good. There is a shift of "type" somewhat, of posters today. But that's just a reflection, I think, of the change of this industry these days.
I don't see any other website of this nature having the same quality and the ability to express oneself and banter that is any better than this one, though. And the inherent growth of ECCIE is a good and positive thing for both of the sexes.
