Monochrome Poll

On Monochrome BBS, every time I look to see who is higher than me in the spod quotient table, I find that the user hasn't logged on for at least several years, so I just wondered when you last logged on to Monochrome BBS? If you can't remember, comment with your username and I'll tell you.

I seem to go through phases. Sometimes I won't log on regularly for years, but then I'll start again, but I'm not sure why.

It's odd to see how completely dead various sections are, such as The Ladies Loos section, in comparison to theladiesloos.

I'm intrigued to know why people don't log on anymore. To be honest, I can understand for many reasons, but I'm curious as to the individual ones. In part to see if there's anything that can be done, and in part just out of curiosity.

For me, it sometimes depends on my job. I've worked in places that have not allowed SSH/Telnet access, so then have not logged on much. I've also had times, such as when I did my MSc, when I haven't been spending most of my days sat in front of a computer.

Also, when LiveJournal appeared, I stopped using Mono as much, as I had somewhere else to blog, that allowed me to post pictures and allowed for more interaction.

What else? Oh, like shermarama mentions below - there used to be more incentive to log on, if you were involved with or interested in someone else who logged in regularly.. but times change and more people are in long-term relationships and don't need Mono as some kind of strange dating site. :)

But I'm still logging in anyway, so maybe it's better to ask other people why they stopped using Mono!
