It's such a disappointment, what has happened?

Boris has gone...life is boring now!

Redwinemaestro · 15/07/2022 23:47

UK unemployment rate is decreasing 🤣

CuriousMama · 15/07/2022 23:50

I remember when it was all fields.

Yes it's got quieter over the years imo.

HeddaGarbled · 15/07/2022 23:55

Is it? Seems pretty lively to me.

JasmineVioletRose · 15/07/2022 23:56

It's very quiet isn't it.

TuftyMarmoset · 16/07/2022 00:00

It’s the summer and people have better things to be doing? (Not me, clearly!)

IHateFlies · 16/07/2022 00:01

We've all come to our senses and picking up a good book instead.

The site is very badly designed and maintained. It seems to have been built by a school child for about £10, with the result that it is ludicrously glitchy.

When you add in the data breaches and how they’ve been handled I’d imagine that quite a lot of people have just given up.

OytheBumbler · 16/07/2022 00:03

It's because nobody can be 'lighthearted' anymore without signposting they're being 'lighthearted'.

And even if you do say you're being 'lighthearted' posters will jump on you.

The humour is still here but you have to look harder for it.

mackthepony · 16/07/2022 00:04

Honestly, its been quieter since the updates

milkyaqua · 16/07/2022 00:05

The "upgrade" happened.

RewildingAmbridge · 16/07/2022 00:06

There hasn't been a really funny thread for ages, I don't even care if they're trolls if well written.
Olaf and the parking thread, Sistine chapel, snapped and farted are more recent classics but still quite a while ago now

secludedgarden · 16/07/2022 00:13

I don't see as much as I used to
I use the app on my phone not the site on my laptop
I don't seem to see half the stuff
Justine interviewed Boris and I saw it on another site not this one.

Agree it's not as funny but def useful

Love your user name btw

HeddaGarbled · 16/07/2022 00:17

Ah OK, this is a disingenuous ‘something’s changed and I don’t like it’ thread.

mummalog · 16/07/2022 00:24

Cause the app is shite Sad

FrecklesMalone · 16/07/2022 00:27

I've been here years. I think people are sick of social media. In all forms. People are more aggressive, opinionated and less likely to listen to nuanced debate. That makes it boring.

Norden · 16/07/2022 00:29

Not quiet at all if you head over to the relationships and feminism boards

Sistine chapel and shrieking with being overcome was so funny.
I believed it at first.

Gullible me!

Quincythequince · 16/07/2022 00:34

They keep deleting threads.
Bloody constantly

I searched for the one I found funny, it wasn't on any I searched for..It was about a woman who shrieked and fainted if she saw great art, It was likely a hoax, but I found it funny.

Came here to say this too

Yes, It makes it very dull.
Especially anything that mentions men in women's spaces.

paisley256 · 16/07/2022 00:42

Does anyone remember the days of Hullygully? There used to be so much silliness on here, I miss that.

WingingItSince1973 · 16/07/2022 00:42

Seems to attract a lot of angry posters. Such a lot of rude replies just lately.
