I have only been posing for about 3 years. We have been through some tough times in the last few years and things seem to be getting worse and this is bound to be reflected in what we post.
There is still fun to be had on some threads but the more serious ones can get overheated at times and become hostile to some points of view.

Is it busier baggs? I havent been here forever, and I use MN so GN seemed quieter to me, that's interesting.

I’m with Baggs

I don't think it has changed except to get busier.

No, I wasn’t posting “way back when”.

Too many people wanting to run things now toscalily I know life is difficult at present but it seems that anyone wanting to be a bit light hearted gets stamped on
and others are offended. Sad really.

I would have liked to have been around then, though there are still some occasional (to me anyway) fun threads.

Oh God. No it probably wasnt. It might have been different that's all. Just as the sun didnt always shine in childhood, etc.

I have only been posting for four years, I lurked beforehand.

I definitely notice a change and it’s not for the best (ducks behind the sofa)

You are wearing a hard hat I assume?!

and I mean years ago, Gransnet was newer, brighter, more tolerant, less dictatorial, more interesting, and mixed in with the serious conversations there were generally some lighthearted, funnier threads.... reading today it seems to have lost something?
