has anyone else noticed...?

Seriously! Has anyone else noticed how much the Tx Chapter declined when people got too afraid to say something for fear of offending someone and getting banned? I think that's completely sad cuz we used to have an awesome vibe in here.... We used to have jokes and a friendly post competition going with Tn and ... wow.. i'm just sad :-(

As a newb, I felt the tension after just a couple posts.

I don't know the back story, but figured it had something to do with a dedicated domain for the group someone was proposing

Not sure what the issue was with that. But if it was for fear of traffic here going away, looks like it happened any way.

no, that wasn't the issue, afaik, we are just waiting on an answer for that, though i wasn't the one that asked the question...its just kinda quiet because there for a couple of weeks we were getting ready for the get-together, and now we've done it...there should be another one soon...

Houston Swap meet this weekend. If anyone can make it, look for my post on it.

We'll be working on a larger get together soon. Just a lot of stuff has come up lately to take my attention away from this.

i can't even get the chat to load anymore but there's no one on there when i try to go anyway. kinda feels like the only thing we got going is some get togethers on the other side of the world and the rest of what we had going for texas, the talking on here is just dying away. Com'on Texas??? Where'd Ya Go????

I'm around. I've been trying to find locations for the NE Texas get together. Tentatively set for Apr 14 (day after my B-day lol).

Anyone with suggestions on that, do PM me please.
