Depends on who they are coming from.

Either way, your stats are wrong. Or you just used that as an excuse to insult a bunch of people.

People would rather contribute and participate in active conversations. If they see a response in a thred they are interested in, they will respond. I *only* use the New Posts feature here to find active threads.

Because of this, I have added a new feature called "Spy" and it lists the forum posts in real-time. If someone makes a post, this page will add it list without you ever leaving or refreshing the page. It still works even if you are logged out, but wont show you any posts form forums you have special access to.

You can access this new feature in the Navigation menu next to the "New Posts" link or by clicking here.

looks good, nice one Bryce

I've been using iSpy for the past week at home and at work. It certainly makes it easier than having to constantly hit the 'New Posts' button or F5. It's a nice feature and one I will continue to use.

I have just started to use it, it looks good to have in the back ground

I don't see the "Spy" forum anymore. Was the feature removed, or is there another reason?

Bryce removed it for the time being.

Oh.

Thanks.
