I hope your turkey's dead when you eat it!!!  

Hope you get used to living in Texas.  You should have consulted me on where to move to though.  Born and raised Texan, would have steered (ha, funny) you in a different direction.  Since you have a SS buddy around the corner, then I would say it was meant to be!!  Austin is close enough which has a lot going on in the business, it might work out good for you.  I met a guy who lives near Rober Rodriguez that does voiceover work there. Nice guy.

It is rather quiet, isn't it...

Me? I raked yesterday. Today I talked on Skype to a friend of mine whom I've known since 1070! We talked for 5 hrs! We had a great time!

Wow, 1070! Jeepers Pia, you look very good for your age.

Jesus Christ, Pia, how old are you?! Are you like that knight from Last Crusade? Lol.

That said, I'm not doing anything of any particular note. Just writing, like usual. Hopefully everyone on this side of the pond is gearing up for Gluttony Day and for those who aren't, hope all is going well for you. =)

Certainly is quite around here these days. I remember the halcyon days of SS when Burt, Shelton, Phil, Greg, Death Monkey, Pia, Breanne, Wes, Nixon, M Cornetto, George, Balt and Jordan etc were all posting here on a close to daily basis. Personally I think Facebook etc ruined social media. Things were so much better when forums that focused on specific topics and interests dominated the net.

Indeed. It is quite.

But hold up, isn't this like people at a party looking at the empty dance floor and saying 'Why doesn't someone dance?'

Personally I'll be in the kitchen. I might slide across the dance floor on my knees. If the right tune comes on. Or I'll just get pissed on the cider.

It is pretty quiet, to be honest. While I'd chalk that up to Thanksgiving, I've noticed that the Internet (in general) is largely dead on certain days of the week, particularly Sundays. Beats me why.

I've been a little busy myself. Maybe folks here are writing; maybe they're reading and/or reviewing screenplays; maybe they're engaging in other interests? Who knows?

2 things:

A) I'm working with a Producer on a zombie feature for production in 2015.  
B) I'm plotting out my next slew of features for 2015 (mostly rewrites)

Hence: Absence

I'll be back full-time in 2015.  And with a screenplay credit to my name, WOO!

SS does get a bit DEAD this time of year.  Weird.  Suppose everyone's taking a well deserved break to gather themselves for another year of attempts.

Based on this post and a couple of others I only just became acquainted with 'Takeshi' the other day and realized he/she was one of the original members of SS back in 2006. But now it seems 'guest user' - membership done and dusted.

I never get why people close their accounts here on SS - just like that. I mean I know it's been a little quiet Takeshi but then to just chuck it in.

Hmm, maybe people like to reappear with new identities?

Why not just leave your account up knowing you could be back later...

It's been quiet since I semi-left !!!

The problem is you guys don't have anyone to argue with now. Hee hee.

Pia wow 1070. That's 944 years old !!! and you don't look a day over 50.

What's your secret ! Must be the fresh air in Florida.

It is true. SS might have grown a lot as a website, but the forum used to be totally different. More like a family and most of us did post a few times every day. There were more discussions, fights, reading, writing games and so on. Why have things changed? I don't know. I guess people just move on?

In a way, you can almost look at it as a positive. If people are taking more time away, it may mean that there's more writing going on or that they're in the beginning stages of "making it". Then again, maybe it is just that people are starting to move on after a while.

Look at the portal. This is the only thread alive today! In the past, there would've been a bunch of posts just chatting about why it might be dead here.  

I sort of feel like someone who's been hired to chaperone at a party, but when I got to there, the party was over.  

Come to think of it, even my FB feed is quiet...
