We have our up-and-down moments at the forum, and it's going well, but I do wish we could get more posts sometimes.
I do get that you like to chat here and that’s great, but I’m sorry I just can’t keep up with all of it, and I have to concentrate my energy on the forum. It’s fun to come here and check out what’s going on from time to time, but it’s very easy to get lost. I’m glad that you’re all having fun here. I would like to request, though, that you can sometimes come to the forum and bring some of that posting energy over there. We have some really fun discussions on the forum, but we can really use the energy. So if you would like to help us out, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and happy chatting!

This post takes me back to the dark days of DS. It was autumn, and we were dying. I used a milestone post on the forum to request help. What happened? Not a single person signed up. You yourself, Snoop, were conspicuous by your absence. I was shocked that my plea went unanswered. It was as though DS was quietly being killed off.
Although I have pointed out the irony, I do not mean this post to be a negative one. Some people prefer DS, some the forum, but there should always be co-operation between us. I will accept the request for help, and attempt to post more on the forum.
