What happened to participation

That's the whole point of technology it seems
.When I travel for business, I book my flight and hotel online. I get my plane ticket through my phone. I pick a room at the hotel on my phone, sometimes I can even use my phone as the key. I can go an entire trip without having to interact with a human (except for the meeting) if I really wanted to.
What does that say about our society that all of our technology enables us to not interact with one another anymore?
I'd still like to know how to embed pics. LOL
And I miss the crap outta the chat box!! C'mon! Where's the chatbox?? (the upside to losing it forever would be that I would remain the Chat Queen until the end of time)
And don't go blaming technology for not wanting to interact with humanity. I live in the least technologically advanced place y'all could imagine, and I can go for quite a long time without human interaction if I put forth just a smidge of effort. We don't even have mail here. Technology makes it easier, of course, but it's still doable.
Feel free to schedule a meeting at our house. The tank is enormous, and we don't hardly do anything to maintain it. We do pee in it sometimes, just to keep things running smoothly...

+1 Everyone is now all into LED's, And stuff like Zeovit, carbon dosing, and other unnecessary things. Very few people these days try the old proven technology. But I think it's because the current generation of reef keepers are part of the "I want a packed reef now" group and dont have the patience to learn how it was done 6-8 years back.
I have struggled mightily with images as well. But I think I got it now. The way that's been working for me is that I use photobucket because it provides the URL that can be easily used to embed. You just need to add

So you guys are all crazy and this is just perception. Visitors to the site has stayed even since november...new posts have actually gone up. about twice as much as before. This is Posts per week since November.
Actually I think it has to do with how the club has grown over the years. Back when I joined there were maybe 30 people in the club. We had small meetings regularly that were always the same people with maybe 2 or 3 new people. It made it very easy to know everyone. Also 95% of those people are no longer active.
I forgot the latest membership audit we did but it's in the hundreds now. It makes it impossible to know everyone and has a much different feel then what the club was.
Whether that's good or bad? can't say, it's just different.
