I know I must be part of the problem, too, but this forum has really become "Nothing to see here; move along".

But the forum began to die when everyone moved on to the chatroom. Not only am I unable to listen in real time but I don't care for real time chat rooms. The forum spam issue from several months ago certainly didn't help matters.

We have so much fun on the chatroom!

That's fine. I just can't use it during the broadcast.

Plus forums are better for more considered posts in my opinion.

Some of us have lives that preclude sitting in the chatroom. I'll take the forum method.

Exactly. I like the time shifted lifestyle.

The idea of watching or listening to anything in real time seems so foreign to me now. And 95% of the time I'm busy during the broadcast anyway.

I also have a life.

I don't see how people make it to the chat room on a daily basis, like it's their job.
