It’s all too much

I haven’t really taken a good look at the Lockergnome Forums in about a week, and with a spare 15 minutes today I decided to pop in and browse around and see what the topics are in Gnomie land. Then the entirety of the problem I have with them hit me. It’s too freakin’ big! How can you possibly be expected to keep up when there are that many posts and subjects going on at the same time? They’ve been open for less than two weeks and they’re closing in on 5,000 posts. Who has time to read all of that? Who has time to wade through it and see if any is of interest to you? Sorry, I don’t have the time to be a very active participant over there, I have my own life to lead!

    One other experiment I’ve had in mind recently is tied into something that’s not been working correctly anyway.
