Or does it go through a cycle of activity, followed by inactivity?

Maybe it's tied to the seasons: northern hemisphere summer means more of the members are spending more time outdoors and less time at the computer?

Or maybe there aren't enough controversial threads to elicit our passion?

Has everything already been discussed? Are we running out of topics?
Even the "Guess the..." threads are dead!

Or am I just paranoid?

[Chlidonias]

you are paranoid.

I'll let you know when we run out of topics nanoboy.

Hey dude, I started a poll on naked PETA celebrities, a discussion on whether captive breeding in zoos is a distraction from conservation, and a discussion on where the best children's zoos are...I'm trying to do my part.

snowleopard just started his new road trip. That should keep us busy through the summer.

it does go in peaks and troughs sometimes, nothing to be concerned about.

Yeah ok, I'll give you some credit for starting threads. You have got to share with me how exactly you think of some of those threads though. I mean, at least the anti-fur campaigns had some hotties.

I thought that we had a "no posting when high" rule on this forum.

I wasn't watching closely and just saw that our old friend Fuzzball (or Zebra Duiker, or Charly, or whatever....) has been banned. When did that happen, and for what crime? He could always be relied upon to say something to stir up discussion - usually in a manner that lacked a great deal of charm or reasonableness.

Not just paranoia - you're exhibiting symptoms of addiction withdrawal! Methinks you spend too much time on ZooChat!

I'll drink some absinthe to that!

[CGSwans]

I have to confess to looking at quite a few threads and thinking "is there really nothing better to talk about?" However, the wonder of the internet is that I simply don't have to click on them.

Just to keep Nanoboy occupied I've posted a 5 minute video about the Saola in the Wildlife Conservation forum.

Did someone mention absinthe? That's a tasty drink. (Too bad I gave up drinking.)
