RIP Tom Petty
It's changed a lot since you were away, it really has. It's been slow for some time now. It also seems like most people want to enter the just say "I'm in" contests. Nobody wants to earn it anymore.Sucks about Tom Petty. Lost a lot of greats here lately.
In other news, why is this place so quiet anymore? Its like a ghost town it seems.
And one actual entry in my contest? C'mon now, y'all can do better than that!

Heavy posters have moved on - Worldwood moved to the boonies of FL where he has sucky inet, G-shark graduated and got a job, guyon has gotten really involved with cave/rope rescue work, other heavy posters had kids or had kids grow up and have "activities" that parents attend. I have no idea why some of the other regular posters have gone MIA and ceased posting. e.g., GSOM, C-bear, Big Hoss, Murph, someone named Derek .
No stones intended, but a dearth of "dirt time" challenges for a while probably had a little something to do with the way things shifted. We went a while with no challenges so as new folks drifted in and out, they weren't exposed to the "environment" of competitive doing that we had going here for a while.
The thing is, it's not just here in Beckerland. The Knife and Hawk throwing forum has literally died as most everyone shifted over to Facebook groups. Some of the heavy posters in subforums have gotten ill or passed on. Many times, there are only a few folks driving things, with others kinda chiming in. When the driving force posters move on, die or get banned for going off the deep end, momentum drops.
It probably goes in cycles and we just have to wait it out until things get moving again.
Okay, yeah, I deserve that. I see alot more over on Facebook, but nothing really along the lines of how we used to do things, and that is unfortunate. Lot of good threads, knowledge, and dirt time came from those old contests.
I can see that. Here is hoping it swings back towards busy. I want to see more shenanigans!
