Where did everyone go?

It is absolutely bullshit that everyone disappeared now that things are tough.

This forum, and lack of activity since the season ended.....is the exact reason I have always said that the Redsox have the worst fans in Boston.

I can't wait til next spring training when all the phonies return, only to have MY "fandom" questioned for being critical and realistic.......

Well, it isn't like there is much to talk about. The only thing going on right now is hiring coaches. When the offseason starts, I think more people will get excited about the team again.

I want WhiskeyBreath, TheKilo, ORS, Dipre(if he wasn't banned for some bullshit),VA, Spudboy and Ital to return for good. I've been thinking about the old posters for a while, that's why I put in my sig "where'd all the old posters go?"

I think people will post more once the WS is over and FA/trades begin to happen.

In terms of fanbases, I'd go:

Pats (worst)
Sox
C's
Bruins (best)

Have you been to a Celtics game lately?
Last time I went, a bunch of drunken idiots refused to stop swearing obscenities in front of the kids that were sitting behind them, and threatened the father. And that wasn't the only incident... on a Tuesday night game. That's usually how my experience goes with the Celtics.

Red Sox fans may not be dedicated, but atleast they're civil.

Yeah, there's never been overly drunk and obnoxious fans at Fenway...

Obnoxious and dangerous are two very different things.:lol:

I'm constantly annoyed by fans at Red Sox, but I'm never concerned about them sticking a knife out, and putting a hole in my chest.

Same, but I read some threads once in while in order to be informed about our team.

I agree. Just not much to talk about right now. I'm psyched about the off season and always look forward to Spring Training.

SO VERY glad the 2012 season is over and Bobby V is gone!!

I miss a lot of the old posters as well.

I used to post a lot while at work, but have trouble the accessing the site for some reason and work has been crazy busy as well.

Hope you all are well!

Got accepted into a PhD program, finishing my Master's Project Paper, got promoted at work twice and lifting take up most of my time. I lurk sometimes, and i'll probably have a lot more free time soon since i don't start taking classes again until September.

I bought a house July 31, then 2 weeks later my wife and I separated and she took my daughter back to Syracuse with her. So in order to keep busy, I've been going to the gym and lifting heavy things and putting them back down. Also taking 1 online course at a time and working 56 hours a week leaves me absolutely no time to do anything. I do lurk though.

My son made a travel baseball team (u8) and I was named asst. Coach.
That has been taking up a lot of time but I look forward to seeing what the sox will do in the off season.
We watched 4 days in October on netflix last night and seeing what happened in 2004

Just because people don't post on a forum, doesn't mean they have lost their fandom. Jesus

Thats fine, just don't be one of the people who question someone elses next year, which will happen like clockwork around here.....just in time for spring training.

Ive never seen this place so dead, for such a long span.

I actually saw an advertising spam bot (XRumerTest) as the only other "active" poster other than myself, pretty sad.

Site traffic is equal to what it was last year and above previous years at this point in time. The slowdown isn't a referendum on Red Sox fanhood or anything. It's just a slow time to be a Red Sox fan and generally a very busy time to be a person.

There's nothing sad about it.

Wow, that was even shorter than SCM's sabbatical. Can't say I'm surprised though.

In all my years on the internet, I have found that the grand good bye is ALWAYS a ploy to get people to beg you to stay. If you really want to leave a place for whatever reason, you JUST STOP posting

Thank you for your concern. My immediate family made it through Sandy ok. We lost cable,phone and internet for about 5 days, but we had heat and electricity. The roads and mass transit have been a mess, and I was unable to get to work the first week. Overall, we were very, very lucky.

Other members of my family were not so lucky. My brother was without power for 13 days. He just got power back yesterday. He and my Sister in Law stayed at my house for the last week. We were in very cramped quarters, because we had undertaken a home improvement project before the storm arrived and most of our furniture is piled in 3 rooms and the other rooms are empty. Very little living space is left. My wife's cousin lost his home in Long Beach, and he, his wife and daughter may be arriving soon to stay for a considerable length of time. Things have been really crazy. Thanks for asking. I hope that everyone else came through Sandy safe and sound.

A couple of threads like this lately. There are couple of names in this thread, and others that I dont recognize in my short time here.

Likewise there are a bunch of new names I don't recognize. I've been sporadic lately since hitting the real world. When I go back to school I'll likely post more, if I can remember. I'm facebook friends with a bunch of people from here anyway so I almost feel like I'm posting on Talksox when I post on facebook.

I took a few months off of TS, intending not to come back, and I've spent a bit of time in the hospital during that period. I'm kind of here, but not as often as I used to be.

Just hold off Massachusetts until I become a police officer. If you're still active in law enforcement, you can ride shotgun when we catch criminals robbing banks.

Been really busy with work the last couple of months.

Glad to see the regular posters trickling back in and some new posters as well.

Less than a week from Opening Day - can't wait to get the season started!

Hope everyone is doing well and look forward to seeing everyone on the GTs and on the rest of the board.
