Up until just a few months ago you could ask questions and you'd get so many responses. Not you ask and there are hardly any views, let alone a single reply.
I know for me, I used to check the recent posts constantly, but even though I almost always have that screen up, I have not really followed through with posting like I used to. At least not like I do in threads I'm usually in like state thread or hatches or what have you. If I don't have an answer I try to keep a thread up so it gets seen by someone who does. If the answer is there I also move on. But I know there used to be a lot of help out there that just doesn't seem to be there any longer.
Did we lose a lot of members with the change over to the new site? Have so many people gotten out of raising chickens and not even interested any longer?
There are a lot of new people here and it seems they are helping eachother along and just as before we all know that isn't always a good thing. Lots of incorrect information for one newbie to another and we all know the trend goes on. It always has, but usually someone with some real knowledge will jump in and try to save them. I know that doesn't always happen, but sometimes they listen.
Has everyone started using the site differently and maybe the unread or unanswered posts are just not being seen?
Just seems that the members who have been on here a while have grouped up and stuck together more and really aren't interested in posting in thread where they don't all hang together. Certain subjects have been more closed to those just starting out and asking questions.
I know I see a ton of games and things on here sometimes, but little else, so I just pass things up. I hate that I do that, but I also have a problem with the colors and my eyes in the site on certain areas.
IDK.....Is it just me or is something very different here at BYC?? I hope I'm just lost somewhere and don't see the things going on that I think I'm missing.
