I'm there, and aye sir, I agree!
I am there! *www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-computer005.gif
You already know the reason.
Truckload of bugs, lots of spammers & bad forum mangement - what else do you need to get rid of members?
^^The spamming is relatively recent and still not too bad, but I completely agree with the rest.
Please if any MODS or ADMIN see ing this thread please take in to count & make everyone present in the TDF .
In day i used to be here in this forum for atleast 6hrs per day but with out members i think this forum is really going down look @ the NEWPOSTS - its very very less
wat, is this like an attendance or something. IMO the threads are less here cause people have migrated to TE forums
Ya its like attendance so we can know how many members are really there now @ TDF
1)separate moderator is require for each section.
2)when the problem of the user solved the post should should be closed so that further spanning can be prevented by auto bot or the person.
3)The new user registration should pass the human test so that auto bots can't register in mass
4)Zero post accounts and accounts un-activate for more than 2 months should be removed as we require quality not quantity
5)Fine tunning of the forum is required.
6)Time to time competition and prices should be given.
I'm present too, but I think most of the users are now spending more time in Chat-Rooms than here... coz i see many of them active there...
Yes, we should remember that we were all noobs once, not only in the forum but also in most things. We should be tolerant when a newbie makes a silly post and gently correct him/her without coming down too hard or making fun of them. Who knows, today's noob may become tomorrow's valuable member.
However, there are certain types, noob or not, that often irritate me. It's the arrogant type and the pretentious type.
I'm still here. I visit the forum everyday but I'm not posting anything much.
looks like most of them moved to TE and dumped tdf
On a serious note, it happens, always.
Basically people get busy with a lot of things and they move on to other things.
I remember the era or Aadipa, Freestyler, Deleted empathy and Dexter - that was in 2004. More serious posts, people were friendly, no wars.
Next was Go4i, Sunnydiv, Goobi, Santhosh (Sansite), Pallav - the days of yahoo chat rooms, but some big fights (between some members) were there and finally most of them left. The era of portals - nukes !
And then the sr-ultimate, cool jeba - graphic specialists, blogs, funny and naughty comments.
Next I remember the OS war era lol. Gx, Arya, iMav and a lot of heated up discussions. MS vs Opensource, Apple vs MS and Praka was getting angry very easily ! People tried to provoke him and they could win very easily.
A lot of reasons behind the disappearance. Memebers get busy and do not get time to post in TDF. After a few yrs, members think they are mature enough and TDF is that of kids and N00bs and moves to serious kinda forums. Some start their own business, their own sites, their own forums.
Can't blame on mods or admin for each and everything. Moderation was not this much before. Members were behaving much better and mods were not under pressure, they were not having much job actually.
Some always stay, always help others and behaves in a very good manner (infra_red_dude for example), some pretend they are still young and appear once in a week or so to tell they are still alive (example : uncle bug err.. uncle Din). Some posts serious matters and prefer to stay away from all these kids play (example :Vaithy - a very senior and nice person). People differ, but for some TD Forum is a nostalgic thing, it makes them think of the golden days and in some cases, the memoirs bring them back to TDF, and the change always amazes them. New faces, new topics and new way of posting !
I think we need not worry on this, if we decide to help others, decide to be polite, decide to post something thats useful for the large majority and decide to share the knowledge, TD forum will be the best forum - as always.
@din...
experience speaking???!!!

Hmm, Just because I am not posting does not mean I am not visiting!
But then after crossing the 2000 posts mark, you start to feel more like observing more and posting only in rare cases.
LOL, sorry if my post sounded like an advise. Didn't mean that.
i am present like always .....
people have moved on.. due to the bad state of the forum in previous months. but i'm still here though not regular.
im still waiting for any ADMIN to respond ??
look @ active threads today , before 3 months the sunday would be full of threads up to 5 pages
every one is online , if i have any doubts i ask over here and many does same thing but now a days no replies ,
^that means people are not having problems with their pcs or life. Why so serious? If anyone comes or not we are here. Don't worry.
Present Sir. Dog ate my leave letter.
AND I AM BACK!
Sorry for the caps!
ya there is some improvements now !!
The reason why I used to didn't log in is b'cos whenever I try to log in I always see it is either down or takes **** load of time. That is why I didn't log in for straight 2 months.
Now, its somehow okay but still they make it even more better if they want to.
nice 
). The forum is very mismanaged though. The drop down menu to jump to different sections is removed from the User CP, the forum is still a little slow with too many ads (now on both sides... WTF?).
