where have all the people gone?
Alien abduction?
Other places. Other websites. Other non-web activities.
Solar flares did them all in: Where Have All the People Gone (TV Movie 1974) - IMDb
Some (and I only know much, and still not a whole lot about the original) but some may have gotten tired of trying to figure our how to get to current questions and even if they did figure it out, they may have determined that they didn't want to do it every time. If I remember correctly, before the changes were made, I would click on my AMHD bookmark, and then click ANSWER and I was there at the questions. It took me a while to find the "new posts" button and get back to the two step process to get to new questions. I was using about a 4 step process to get there.
But I didn't give much consideration to moving on because I am an addict and have been for almost 7 years now.
During all that transition, I tried the vgo several times but I had a lot more problems and kept coming back to the old.
And during that same time frame, statements were made that a lot of effort would not be put into fixing bugs in the original skin. So,some like me (old fogeys) may have concluded that they couldn't operate in vgo, and that the bugs in the original weren't going to be fixed (seems to me the bugs have been fixed) so they decided it wasn't worth the trouble.
I have tried some other sites and they s*ck, plus I don't get my fix and start having withdrawal symptoms.
a likely explanation and here I was thinking something sereul like the rapture or we had reached the point were we didn't even want to post BORING!, hey there is an echo in here. My mouse has taken leave of its senses today or maybe its me, but I'm getting fed up with logging in, this site doesn't even remember me anymore, perhaps that's what happened, they are all shut out and find it too much trouble
I was hoping we'd get stories from people when they were on a bender talking about aliens abducting them from the trailer park and probing all their orifices.
It has been dead the past few months. Used to be if I went 12 hours without logging in, I would have at least a page and a half, usually more, to look through. Now, most of the time it's not even half a page. We're dying a slow death here on AMHD for some reason.
Nah, they've all become snooty vegans too good to deal with the likes of us.Quote:

Well there it is; the aliens have taken over. Smoothy will be happy; he can have his orifices probed
I don't want mine probed... I get a chuckle about drunks talking about aliens probing theirs while under the influence... as if that wasn't enough to get them to give up the bottle after the first occurrence.
The "people" have been stolen. Thats just a theory I have running right now. I have noticed a change in the bots/spiders that visit here and the majority (98%) are from a chinese website that is google's competitor in China. I am thinking they have stolen the spaces afforded to legitimate seach engine spiders like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Just to name a few. So if they can't get in here they in effect dont know what exists. To me it drives traffic away and is a boon to the Chinese for the information that is provided by this site. They appear to be mining it very heavily.
See, part of the liberal agenda, spear headed by Communism to silence the voice of truth.
Did you not get the memo? Godzilla is back! There are widespread power outages, cities and towns have been devoured by Mothra!
what you are saying is japcrap is back, those peope are obscessed with radio activity, I wonder why
The site just isn't engaging, there's no way to monetize it to make it worthwhile so developers spend no time on it, shifted to other projects. Pretty standard stuff.
This site makes money. Even as low as the count has been it is still making money. I still think it is the bots that have taken over and it is my belief they should be banned from the site (the Chinese bots) as we don't get much traffic if at all from China yet we do the rest of the world.Quote:

Bots don't kill real people from finding, joining, and staying on the site. The downturn not due to any outside hackers or alien abduction, it's just not engaging enough for visitors to stay.. unless you count the traffic from India.
Here's some stats: askmehelpdesk.com Site Overview
What isn't engaging is the standard of the discussion, a lot of it is the same tired rhetoric or just crapping onQuote:
