Is it my imagination or are there really fewer posts on this site since the new forum software was introduced?

It falls under the framework of agitation.

For this....I am glad the forum changed....
I agree.
would sound the same - organ, hand organ (accordian), or mouth organ (harmonica).
Wait! It was a joke! Sorry Mark, I know you are a fine musician.
But Ion said
gee...another 1,650 fly for you coming up soon?
I was wrong, that frission is still there!
At first the site looks a lot more complex than it use to - although the software is improved. It takes getting use to.
Furthermore, since you are not allowed to post anonymously anymore it takes more effort to set up and log in.
Yes, and since you cannot post anonymously anymore, it makes it much more difficult to post statements that are designed to create contention and cause upheaval (as we often witnessed in the other forum). In short, the troublemakers can no longer hide behind anonymity. Of coarse, NOT ALL former anonymous postings were written to cause trouble...but, it's obvious that many were written to stir up trouble simply to cause upheaval.
Nice out, Phil. I liked that one. There's plenty of organ/organist jokes out there. And, I think I've heard 'em all, 'cept yours! Swimming and playing the organ have at least one thing in common. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! :D
Perhaps a post that you think was written solely for the sake of inciting anger and hostility, I might think was written for the sake of humor and entertainment. I agree with Phil. What's wrong with a little agitation?
