Is it just me or does R&S seem a bit quiet lately?

Has the purple scared off all the regulars or do you think people are just generally bored with it all?

Update:

((Agggggyyyy) not a good Monday all round, and no chocolate in sight.

    Sorry. I was just sitting in my armchair trying to determine an equation for describing the shape of the universe. I am back now as the back of the envelope I was using is full and I can't remember what the squiggles at the beginning mean. I might have to abandon my quest for such an equation until after tea.

    (((Alikat))) Do I gather Monday is not a good day for you? Chin up and guzzle some choccy.

    Edit Wizard:

    The shape of the universe is a spatial problem. The universe is not expanding from a central point which would produce a sphere but all objects are moving away from each other according to a clearly defined equation. Further objects are receding faster than near objects but that applies equally to every body in the universe so every body can be seen as the centre of the universe but it does not allow us to determine the overall shape.

    The common consent at the moment is that it is flat.

    Lol. I am a nerd as well. :)

    I really don't like answering troll questions and there seems to be a ton of it lately. Strangely enough I actually like talking about religion and the craziness of it, but only if the person asking the question is serious.

    EDIT:

    When you say purple do you mean the new layout? I'm using the green layout right now. I downloaded an addon called User Agent Switcher For Chrome and used the IE6 setting on it.

    There are other ways to get around the purple if you do a search for it.

  • I don't know I have busy week ahead. Trying to get everything done before Spring Break. And as Aggy said awhile ago I am running out of good Beard questions.

    @Aggy Well it depends what you define as the universe. If you define it as the infinite expanse that matter can fill then it has no shape because it is infinite. If you consider it the actual expanse in which matter has already filled then you may wish to simplify it to a sphere assuming it is expanding at the same rate in all directions. Though that may not be a valid assumption since there are parameters such dark matter and energy.

    @ Blodwenbogbrush : You can say that again.

    You can't seem to honestly answer any question without being reported, no matter how polite you are about it.

    It is the same mentality in modern use. If they disagree with my BS, just kill them.

    That seems to be the single most recurring theme with the religious.

    That caused me to take a break, and cost a level 7 account with an over 20% BA rate.

    Nothing is sacred to them except disinformation.

    Not just you, I've noticed it too.

    Many 'regulars' threatened to leave when the last Green Stronghold (Y!A Canada) fell to The Purple Plague. I'm almost on the verge of giving up meself.

    I isn't the same now whatever way you look at it.

    Prob found something better to do. Atheists going and doing their jobs and bible thumpers walking around in airports giving business card to save the soul.

    I have to be bored to get on, and am more bored when I do. It is hard to find the fun questions to answer anymore. I think they got rid of many of the trolls, along with all the fun.

    It's NOT you; it's that purple-splattered vomit format.

    Nice going YA, for having heeded the users' feedback!!!

    YA's arrogance knows no bounds.

    They changed the format and made it easier for people to be stupid, it has discouraged people of intelligence. They have left in droves.

    Maybe our atheists and Christians are finally trying to stop trolling.
