So Lonely...

Post here when the site just feels like a ghost town. You know that feeling, when it's like you, two noobs, three guests, and the Google Adsense Bot just partyin' it up online, and you click on View New Posts and see your name 4-5 times in a row on the right side of the screen. Right now is one of those times for me. Feel free to rant, splurge, or dump insane amounts of boredom into this space.

I felt like that for 4 hours today, studying for finals and looking for something to do...

With all the server issues (which have been fixed according to reliable sources) there were times where it really was just me.

Why thank you. That was my intention.

Why haven't I thought of this? This was a good idea. I'm always on when no one else is. Well,
at least when the Oblivion and General Banter forums are home to tumbleweed and coyote
howls.

It's always like that for me. Come on, people, post stuff! We all know that Off-Topicgate was just a thinly-disguised ruse to stop RobotNixon posting a million times in every single thread. I log on and see 10 of the regulars online, yet no-one will post anything for 3 hours and I really have to wonder why...
Also remember that some of our regular posters (ie Cactus) are AWOL at the moment.

I feel like that quite often, mainly in the middle of the day. I almost PMed the Adsense once.

Scans the forum for keywords and whatnot.

That's quite possible. I wonder what it thinks of the Attack of the Robots roleplay

Its where it gets the majority of its ideas, on the down side it believes that the currancy is in gold, we still use swords, bows and arrows, and there is a magic system all based around levelling up, its what you get from reading the oblivion and morrowind threads too much

Yeah, if you type 'bomb' a little light goes on underneath Obama's desk and he sends a few paratroopers around to

Many people who visit UESP don't even know these forums exist.
We should put a banner on UESP that leads to this forum ("Most awesome forum ever! Click here! Limited offer!")

Ill be honest its the only forum im a member of, and it is pretty awsome

If the google [bot] is always here prehaps they should advitise UESP

I think many people come here, ask one question and quit...

- yeh it's a shame he's exactly that, a bot

And the number of people who ask a question related to Oblivion or Morrowind decreases. But don't worry, when TESV will be released there'll plenty of new users!

Well, I like to think of myself as a regular. I don't remember how I got here, but you aren't getting rid of me just yet. I'm not a one question kind of guy.
And if you think this is lonely, then see some of the forums I visit elsewhere. There are more users online here, now, than they have ever had online at once.

Yeepo what an idea for a name

And it will be good days when Tes5 comes out, loadsa new people to show there way around

And im thinking this generation of users is stronger for the fact we are running off an old game now

Tbf more and more people are becoming regular

Anyway, it's weird how we'll have times when there's NOBODY online, then times like this where you can hardly post without being ninja'd.
EDIT: Like I was as I tried to post this.

When TES 5 comes out can we make it a strictly enforced bannable offence to ask when TES 6 is going to be out?
