Forum TEST

Thread Starter
In a dark, far away corner of the PPRuNe Empire there exists a Mod House, where Mods go to chat and tell poor jokes and atrocious lies without fear of being banned.
On Sunday 7 April 2024 at 5:52 am AEST I posted the following:
At 5:44 am this morning (Sunday 7 April) this is a screen shot of the Dunnunda GA and Questions Forum:
You will note the last post is at 18:12 on 5 April.
There are currently 120 viewers in the forum.
I don't believe there have been no posts in the last (almost) 36 hours in what is normally a lively forum??
I'll go start a test thread to see if that appears.
I could not believe a Dunnunda forum would not have a post for 36 hours, especially when there were 120 in the Forum who risked being late for 6:00 am Mass, choosing instead to check the latest aviation world news.
Hence this Forum TEST thread.
Disappointed?

Where's Farrari? Surely he's lurking ready to tell us he doesn't get paid enough to join this test, that he shouldn't be expected to do this test in his own time, that he's spoken to all his mates (well....his mate) and theyre all p.ssed off at having to do it, that the union should be onto this but theyre too p.ssweak, that this is actually a VA/Bain ssetup etc etc etc

Surprisingly Taily, I actually noted the same myself, having logged in several times over that period of time and noted that there were no new posts!! I assumed that either a collective disregard for the forum had ensued or that there was a technical hitch.
Today is an "average" day in PPRuNe Dunnunda, 373 users in the Dunnunda R&N Forum and 252 users in this forum - today 625 users - whilst the headline Rumours & News forum has only 197 viewers on line (although it is 11:06 PM in Pomgolia). Tech Log occasionally give us a run for numbers, currently 465 on line. Jet Blast has only 62 viewers on line.
Have a great day......

DO NOT open any Virgin threads

I subscribe to BeechTalk. Its version of ‘Jet Blast’ is ‘Babble Talk’. Like ‘Jet Blast’, ‘Bable Talk’ has 25 threads per page.
The most-viewed thread is ‘Jokes – Master Thread’. In 15 or so years, the ‘Jokes – Master Thread’ has dropped off the first page of ‘Babble Talk’, through lack of new posts, only twice (in my recollection). It usually remains in the ‘top 10’. I’m yet to work out what causes the protracted lack of posted jokes and reactions to happen – too little data to come any sensible conclusions – but it does strike me as very unusual when it happens. Maybe just an unusual alignment of the planets and moon…

In almost 28 years activity on PPRuNe and certainly here on Day One of the Dunnunda Forums (whatever that year was), I don't recall there being any occasion when posts weren't made for 24 hours or in this case almost 36 hours, hence I suspected a fault somewhere. .....
.....FWIW one forum that I have noticed a distinct drop-off over the years (was here long before this username) is Private Flying. That used to be quite busy and interesting, but now it seems that days can go by without any posts
FP.

If Tailwheel will permit me to resurrect his Test thread;
I note that the last post on GA was on the 23rd at 1528hrs. The one previous to that was on the 21st at 0717hrs. It appears that otherwise, the only comments are for one thread.
Sum ting Wong?
Or is this part of Dunnunda dying a slow death?
