Topic awaiting preservation: Where is everyone?

Things are really slowing down here. Did we finally run out of things to say? =)


 

Things have been slow in a lot of places these past few. Must be one of those astrological cycles or something.

The Phil section is pretty busy...for the Phil section.

I think that's because the site has been running so darn slow lately, I read some post somewhere that said that Webshaman gave up trying to send messages on the site. Well it seems to work okay in the morning anyway. Later in the day it seems like there must be more traffic or something.

I can't believe we've exhausted all avenues of meaningless conversation!

We should double the dose of Black pills!

mhmhmm Slime is right many mad scientists are missing, but also many many other inmates. many posters have turned into readers

Well, speaking for myself, I've become quite a reader indeed . Guess I quit being a total workaholic and stuff, which doesn't leave me much time to actively be part of any forum.

Yow mas, btw, weren't you in the army? Or have you returned already?

I'm still around and read every day, I just can't find time enough to make any (pseudo)intelligent replies
It's work, work, work and to round it off a bit, some more work... I can't even find the time for any of my own private pet projects anymore

And yes, the asylum is very slow from time to time.

Over the past year or so I have been evicted from my home twice, due to "redevelopment" and I've also been homeless for four months.
My online time is very limited atm, perhaps 7 days a month, a day here, a day there, so I hardly get any time to really contribute. You can bet your booty that the Asylum is one of the first places I visit when I can.
Now that I've got a new flat I hope to get connected there, but I can't get cable (Blueyonder) there yet, so my only other option is BT which is much more expensive.
Aaaanyways,
much like everything else in life, things go through cycles, rhythms, and I guess the same applies to the Asylum.

Damn lurkers

Work just seems to dominate my life!!!

Honestly, don't feed the machine man (Hi Ian, good to see you still here too )

I'm currently being the Homework Monster's slave, so my postings will be few and far between, but I'm trying to keep up.


Justice 4 Pat Richard

Hey I have an idea....


How about coming up with a control that ensures every Asylum member has to post something atleast once a month......



~Sig coming soon~

Even myself, a former forums addict, have so much on my plate at work and school that the sight of a computer
and the concept of speaking to pixel persons is... appreciated, in small amounts at a time.

Not to mention the fact I don't even find energy/time for personal projects anymore... I hate that,
but hey, that's life.

<offtopic> cheers Nevel i am still in the army .....*sigh* but i have a nice "job" over there....just 5 more months to go, then i'm finally finished with this stupid stuff and can go to the university </offtopic>

^ Tao
G'day, I'm still about, but lurking (an admirable pasttime I might add) is about all I've got time for atm.
I did spot that savage plant of yours in PoW though

World of Warcraft has sucked me in...

Has been way too much going on in my life (school, work and other things) lately to spend enough time here to even make semi-decent replies to threads. I manage to browse through the post here everyday, but don't have time for more than that. Even have problems to get more than an hour or two per week to work on my personal projects...

And World of Warcraft is taking its fair amount of time as well. Hopefully the addiction will calm down now that I'm finally max lvl, but who knows

arrrr.... got ya! :P

best lurker ever!

I read the Asylum almost daily but only post if there's something that interests me. My interests are mainly the art / photoshop threads and that stuff has kinda died off here... and so I don't post. I get my art fix at CG Talk & Concept Art now but I still quite like this place and like to see what's happening, even if it's just quietly. I'm more lurker than participant now.

Anyone up for speed painting?

--Amerasu--

*peeks out from under the bed* heh

I can't beleive that its been 5 years.

I'm into painting/collage/printing over the digital arts these days, I'm finding there is just something about getting my paws dirty that i love.

Maybe we should have a non-digital art section? i'd love that.

Hey Ian, good to see another aussie, I'm from down sydney way.

NRL final on sunday and a public holiday on monday!
not that i really follow the NRL, but hey, its finals time

oh no, aussies!

are there no other NZers in the asylum? purely out of curiosity, honest...

oh, ditto what everybody else said about why they don't post more often...

Checking in-
Still in Iraq, still busy, still insane, still an inmate.

Be back soon. Take care, guys and gals...

You too, PS! Stay safe!

I'm here. I've definitely been pulled away though. Mostly because I'm spending more time with my family. I've been back in the Philosilly section quite a bit that last few days though.

: . . DHTML Slice Puzzle : . . .

Yes, and it is nice to have you back, Bugs.

Work, sleep, food, work, more work, a little more sleep, and unhealthy doses of Evolution V with a dash of Counter Strike: Source...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz.....

I've been real busy, but I'm here.

Burnout Revenge

meh, just have other things to do...

and of course, my memory of the asylum is so rose coloured, that it just don't seem the same.

but i do check up on things every week or two, just to see if i've missed anything interesting.

:: pokes head in ::
What's goin on, here. There is way too many people in here, scram lurkers! scream!

=)



(Edited by Schitzoboy on 10-07-2005 08:40)

*screams* :P

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz.....

i am still around and about. no comp for 4 months and an hour at a library is only good for email and a bit of browsing i am finally in my own place and comp is up and running, well at least this one is. my other comp died lost lots of files

The-reincarnation has sucked me in.. nothing quite like a good war oh yes, i do come through occasionally to lurk and read and to check out the library

I was dead, but I`m feeling much better, now.



(Edited by docilebob on 10-10-2005 09:47)

^ Whew! And here I thought that the whole time, you had been abducted by Aliens, and used for their perverse experiments! What a relief to find out you were only dead.

I guess that once your an inmate, your always an inmate.

here's to many more years of insanity!

*Pokes head in too.*

I am here, I have only just gone to lurking because of my current homeless situation. That plus the MUD game Aardmud.org has taken up some of my time too.

Otherwise HI GUYS!

Between catching up on all the old episodes of the simpsons, battle star galactia and firefly plus splintercell 1 & 2 and halo... I just have not been able to find the time. I havent even found time time to play in painter, photoshop, or maxor... What is happening to me????

meh.

^ Hey there! =) Good to see you. Are you still over there 'somewhere' or back stateside?

Wow, it's good to see a few names I remember from way back chiming in here

: . . DHTML Slice Puzzle : . . .

I wasn't aware there were so many "lurkers" still out there. Kinda nice to see.

I'm here. I read and post, but only rarely... some big life changes have been happening around me so I haven't been able to find the time to get here as often as I once did. My first child is on the way so lots of my time is spent with MD and prepping the home for the newcomer, we got a new puppy which has put certain demands on our time and I've managed to get sucked in World of Warcraft pretty well. I started my new career about a month ago and things are taking off with great fervor. I am now teaching the industry professionals in the software that I was using while I was still in the industry (that industry being architecture, the software being Autodesk's Revit Building). New job, New software, New curriculum, New baby, New puppy... Lots of work. Hopefully things will open up for me over the winter. I still pop in when I can so don't forget about me.

Me to, been thinking about getting back into Muding whats aardmud like?

It's not just the forum, what's up with Doc's sites in general? I just realized how much of an idol he was to me back in the early days before the bubble when Netscape 2 introduced javascript and everyone was throwin down to see who could come up with the coolest DHTML. 3d blobular interfaces were the new thing and everyone was just figuring out how to slice images and clear the whitespace out of table cells.

Doc continued to push the limits until a few years ago when he just vanished. Is he still doing web design? Do any of these new up-and-comers know who he was?

Ah well, just a little nostalgia I guess.

That's about right for me to. I have not been here in months. But I'm working late, actually almost 2 days straight,
and I need some breaks here and there..

----| Asylum Quotes

Yep, I'm stateside. Been back for about a year now...
Not doing a whole lot these days - keeping quiet and to myself.
Typical scene is me stumbling around my apartment, wine bottle in hand, slurring cuss words at my brother's cat that stays with me.

Well... there's that ^ and a good bit of WoW thrown into the mix.
Nice to see some familiar faces, I suppose. I guess a fair bit of us have gone our separate ways.
I still have a few people from this place that I keep in touch with on a regular basis, tho I wish it were a few more.
Unforunately, I'm a lazy son of a bitch.


--And jiblet: No... they don't know.

Work completely tied up my life this summer, often clocking 95+ hours a week. But the season's winding down now and what work there'll be over the winter will be in fits and starts. So that's my excuse for not being around.

Schitzoboy and Maruman.... it is VERY good and VERY extensive. give the place a try.

You know, it's been ages since I Mudded. Years ago I was an admin on a large on here in Toronto. I should see if it even exists anymore. :P

I've been around, I'm just late. I'm mainly a reader, I don't post unless I feel I can add information that in beneficial to the topic, also I may not post because I choose not to.

I became single again...

That means all the tentacle porn I can.... errr, i mean I've been budy with an important project at alt.com.

(Edited by UnknownComic on 10-27-2005 13:54)

I've been places.

Lurking every once in a while.

It really has slowed down over the years. I think for a lot of reasons. I can't even remember the last time Doc Ozone posted in here. It was a point and time where the asylum was THE place to be. Guess some have gotten busy, others bored and others just tired...

Or are they are being held captive in the North Wing.

Personally, I can't imagine being online and not being part of the Ozone Asylum.
Ultimately, the Asylum is what you make it be.

::tao:::: ::cell::

Hope everyone is well. I was worried about the members living in Mississippi and Louisiana after Katrina.
I pop in often just lurking more than talking. I post in the photography area at times.

~Black pills for everyone~

*Zzzziipppp!*

Oh boy!

THE Nurse is IN!!!

*gets in line for pills, puts out hands like Oliver Twist*

"Please, Ma'am, may I have some more?"

Shiiizzzam!!
*jumps in behind WebShaman*
"blue ones blue ones! pleeeeessssee"

I'm having a time with my post. They don't show up for a while then when I post again it post twice. I think I need more pills

Gets in way too late to get some pills...
Right know i am touring with an musical. My computer time dropped from 30 hours a week to s slow 5 hours a week...

'Hey, take it easy and enjoy life.... or in your case, death.' -- Yoh Asakura, 'Shaman King'

Wolfen's Sig Site | WolfenMedia | Cell #226 | Fun Link | E-mails of Wisdom | Wolfen Deviantart

funny, Wolfen's 'slogan' is 'Wolfen stays in touch' now it fits perfectly with the topic.

I'm also still here, though really just managing to come back to "reality", heh. Funny, I look back what, 3-4 years? I've been somewhat "out of it" that whole time. First all the build-up to our move back to the US, then getting here (practically 2 years ago now!), 2 business startups, only the second one that was really any good. (Does everyone know that Malin and I opened a jewelry store? I doubt it!) Now I'm going through some major medical/dental work - an infection in my jaw required the removal of all my teeth (yes, all) and I'm in the midst of having everything replaced with titanium implants throughout. Soon I will be a cyborg, and maybe I'll get radio reception auto-magically!

Hey, it's Thanksgiving! Sometimes I'm not as thankful as I should be; I really have been blessed, over and over and over. Hope everyone here is having a great day!

Your pal, -doc-

Thanks for the update Doc. Reasonable to assume you lurk but it's always good to hear what's happening with you and Malin. If there is one thing that perhaps sticks out most, in what's left of my memory is somewhere on your site... you say 'I have good hands'... So a Jewelry store comes as no great surprise and the work is what one might expect from 'good hands.' =) I'm trying to design and then build some furniture...so when you have some spare time.... lol

I'm enduring something similar with 'teeth'... currently looking at lower 'snap-ons'... the snap is implanted... teeth snap in and out. But enough of that I don't want to ruin your turkey. =)


If we don't hear from you before 06 pops in... best of the season to you both... and a big thanks for this place.

Hi Folks well i am still living in the czech republic, planning on getting married next year... Teaching English now but just had a second interview for a 3d company as a modeller for games. Hope everyone is well... nice to see some of the old crowd alive and kicking... hi bugz WS insider Docile Bob etc....

well I'm still about too, but not as much as before. this sig seems to need updating too.
starting up a plastering business soon, hopefully doing a plumbing course next year and then going into property developement.

Nice to see that you are still around Doc!
A real bummer on the infection though...

Oh just so you know, I was indeed contacted on the Alleato thing a couple of weeks back, couldn't take it myself but found a good local guy for it and she now has the help she needs.

Be well and hope to see more of you roaming the halls of the Asylum in the times to come
Cheers/Dan

Well considering I just found this place. I don't feel so bad for being lost.

I so wish I had found this site ages ago.

I so wish I had half the talent I see on this sight.

I'm hoping to find answers to questions I have about art and design and random moments of inspiration.

Hope you all will indulge a timid beginner.

I think I had an account over here that I was, at least almost, active with, about two years ago.
Thing is, Ive looked in the memberlist for all kinds of old aliases, and it was nowhere to be found, so appearently I used some old nick that Ive forgotten.

In may, this year (I think it was may), I made this account. It'll do, I guess. Although I lost my post count ;)

Anyhow, I guess Im mostly lurking, but now Ive began working on my website, along with some other web projects along with my friends, and I might post more also.

Thing is, by the looks of it, there are like, 10 active members or so nowadays, and there arent really that many interesting threads either.
Either its some weird server/script language I dont really know, or its U.S this or Religion that in philosophy forum.
Im not really a good thread starter either.

Hope everyone is well.

Hello,

Well for me I've had so many things happening in my life that I have not visited Ozone as much as I use to. I still have a fondness in my heart for this place.

Take care everyone, and I'll try to come/post here more.

sorry about the double post. this site really is moving slow and I thought the first was deleted. sheesh... me bad
