Bring it Back to Life!!!!

What a disappointing month. I am outta here. So long!

[Khan]

Aw I'll miss you Low. Laters.

[gunner154]

You will be missed, but not remembered.

No, I'm just kidding.

[Dunenewt]

Yesterday was good, but today has been disappointing.  I've worked out that we get much more posts when I log on in the mornings and post a bit, rather than in the evening.

[Dante]

Why didn't you just PM me? You could say much more that way.

Because I don't like you, and an IM would make me feel dirty. :)

That torture thread in PRP was responsible for most of the good posts. We should have more stuff like that.

um... Okay...

What a disappointing month. I am outta here. So long!

Bye, Hope to see you soon.

Hmm...if that's what happens when I decide to post more than a couple of times in a PRP thread, then it must be worth it.

So when you post actually has a direct effect on how the rest of us post?

[Dunenewt]

I'm not sure, but it gives people something more to respond to if I spread my posts out throughout the day.  Or it could just be that when I post throughout the day, a larger proportion of the daily posts is mine, and I post more, without other people posting more.

Yeah, because it was you who injected a differing opinion that sparked intensive debate.

[Dunenewt]

At least 4000 posts for May seem reasonable?

[Khan]

I think it will probably flux between 3000 and 4000 but it will probably even out as people's free time changes.

[gunner154]

Is that being optimistic?

[Khan]

March was 4000, May was 3500. People don't seem to want to stop posting, but many have time constraints. Unless there is an inexplicable communal decision to stop voting, I think it is very likely we will continue to post in such figures. Whether the posts will be worth their weight in kilobytes, now that may be optimistic.

[Dunenewt]

I think June will see 5000 posts personally, as people break up from school, and university.

And start work ;)

[Dunenewt]

Ah yes, I forgot about you starting work, you mentioned it before.  Well, maybe we should set up some kind of diary thread, that could be interesting.  I will be working full time during the summer, catching people shoplifting on CCTV, so I may have some stories to tell.

I'll remember to wave at you. ... don't get your hopes up. Most of them have a bad image quality. (Swiss has better ones hanging around)

[Dunenewt]

Oh don't worry, ours is very good.  With IR for the outside cameras in the dark too.  I worked there full time before coming to Uni.  I live quite a way from London though, in the West Country.

[Edric O]

You Brits sure love your CCTV. I was always perplexed at the amount of people in the UK who seem to think ID cards are a totalitarian intrusion into their private lives but see nothing wrong with CCTV cameras on every street corner.

Oh, and also, to get slightly back on topic - post more!

[gunner154]

Your job isn't entirely about watching cameras, right? :P

[Dunenewt]

Not entirely that, its title is Loss Prevention, so there's all kind of aspects to it.

Anyway, I'd like to see at least 100 posts from now on every day, as a bare minimum.

So you have to make sure the company never makes a loss during a fiscal cycle? Tough job. :P

Anyway, I'd like to see at least 100 posts from now on every day, as a bare minimum.

If we want to achieve that, we need some sort of new strategy.

[Dunenewt]

Employ Chinese people to post for us?

[Edric O]

I was thinking more along the lines of finding some fascinating subjects to talk about...
