AggieDave 6 #2 May 17, 2010 The vibe on DZ.com is radically different than a few years ago. Its really lost its fun/party feel. That really peaked about 7-8 years ago. Honestly, the vibe really went flat after Holly and then Deuce died.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

towerrat 0 #5 May 17, 2010 Yeah Dave I'm with you. after those two passed it really put a damper on things. However, it seems to be worse than that lately. There were still a few good years after Holly and Duece....I think maybe this site is dying.....Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of them don't jump anymore. Some of them are dead. Some of them I still haven't met in person after 10 years. All in all, its really different. And Skyrider, I post some, read more.

Bolas 5 #10 May 17, 2010 Quote I feel the same. Although we've never met face to face I've known you for almost 10 years. Scary shit....... It's sad really but it looks like the party's over..... It's only over when the last person leaves or is kicked out. Something/one either changes and grows or gets left behind and eventually dies. The key is to balance it.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squeak 17 #12 May 18, 2010 Dont forget Dave that a lot of them were quite young when they started here, 10 years is a long time in the life of a Teen or early 20s. You were young, Viking was a virginPeople grow and change and there priorities shift, it's probably more sad that some of us are STILL here after 10 years You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, good for him! Yeah, I was 20, in college and just a kid really. Now I'm not 20, not in college and just a kid really.

skymama 37 #14 May 18, 2010 Actually, I think a lot of it is the FB factor; people post things that only their friends will see. With the way people get flamed on here, I can understand that.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgskydive 0 #17 May 19, 2010 I know what you mean. i used to be on this site all day long. We all used it to stay in touch, even if we saw each other all day long. Nooooowwww we have Twitter and FB. If dz.com had an iPhone and an android app, well I bet this place would pick back up.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #18 May 19, 2010 Holly, Duece, Shannon. All of the ones that are gone were great people, but I dont think them passing is slowing down dz.com though. Like I said in my other reply,,,,, FB and Twitter.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
