    Been away for a while from the admin world and poped in to catch up to find the place very quite indeed :(
    and the new owner not logged in for quite some time:eek: not looking good for AT at the moment, which is sad as it was a breath of fresh air compared to the "other" place.

    It has gotten quite. I don't know what happened to cause it. I'm still here.

    I have no idea. Brent was very active for a while and now seems to have gone missing too. I know he has a network of sites and know what it takes to manage them all so I imagine he is busy with them.

    The others I can't explain.

    I'm around as well... this time of year is notoriously slow however. Maybe Brent found a warm sunny beach?

    Although it's good for most forums to be quite active with lots of participants, to me there's a big difference between a forum that's mostly dead and a forum that's completely dead.

    And AT isn't completely dead at this point, fortunately.

    First time I have logged in for a while and this place has completely gone quiet, hopefully things change because I did like this site better than the others. :)

    Indeed - AT is quieter than it used to be..... maybe its due to new year, maybe sth else......

    quite strange to see owner is gone, I know there are many admins who take care of this forum, but owner is owner and he/she should be here on frequent basis.

    nethertheless - Im still here....

    Maybe the owner will gain some motivation. *keeps fingers crossed*

    Wish I could edit my post up there. I meant to say 'popped' :confused:

    Hope you are right. It'd be a pity to lose such valuable website......

    If it was going to happen I think it would have by now, he's been on since I started this thread but not deemed it unimportant enough to offer any sort of rely!!!

    Sure, I don't like to comment onto forums that are completely dead. However, sometimes, to me anyway, posting comments onto super-busy online forums can be a turnoff because I don't like being just one out of a million people commenting onto a forum.

    All the fun people aren't here anymore, that's why its quite. If it isn't because TAZ banned me (which is a very unfortunate turn of event for me), I wouldn't be here much either. Seems like they had moved on when Amazon sold this place. Admin forums thrives on drama, it is just - as we used to say in Chess - a matter of "technique" when to pull and when to lure without becoming overwhelming.

    do I understand this correctly - this place has been owned by Amazon?
