I don't know about you but I have trouble keeping up with it all these days.

Do you have any suggestions for us (the rival MIST forum doesn't seem to have got off the ground) - or do you like it as busy as possible?

No, there have been nearly 20 new topic today, and the front page (what you could call, the 'reply zone') hold just over fourty posts. This means the average post is going to have a lifespan of only around two and a half days, if not less (how far down the page do people honestly go when looking for posts to reply to?). That's not long enough, in my opinion.

Actually yeah, i like it that you get a reply within a minute of the previous post. That way everything is always up to date. Maybe is should stay the same...

I think it's just right. We get about 10 new posts a day, and we all look through them. About 6 or 7 of them are crap and just sink, and the good ones stay at the top. Then you achieve an equilibrium, where you post a message and a reply or two pops up. Read those, post rely, read more replies, etc. Then, you just keeping going until about 1:00 when you all agree to go to bed. Great!

I know! Make alternate day posters! People can only post every other day, the other day they are banned. It worked for cars to stop pollution why not message boards? :)

Anyway, busy is cool. If you don't want busy you check another board. I like this because you seem to get a reply within 1 minute. Great feedback :D.

As for MIST ill get back to you.
