The board is quieter. Hopefully it'll get back into full swing again soon,, as this boards strength is in its dynamism I think.
This is compounded, for me anyway, by my phone loading threads from the cache, rather than refreshing them. Sometimes even if I know there are new posts on there I still get the cached version without them on. If other people are experiencing the same phenomenon it might be a retardant factor in the general hustle and bustle of the board.
