Default Ghost Town.

For all intents and purposes, this MB has become a ghost town. Let's hope that changes.

I noticed that! Heck, I had not been on the board but once or twice over the last 3 months and it went from lively spirited debates, inspection Q&A's, to trying to win the weekly football contest, and everything one could think of to silence or a couple pissing contests. What the heck happened! Nobody renew? A lot less home Inspectors in business this year? Everybody forget their password to the board! GeeZ!

I think we have a lot of boycotters because of the moderation rules.

We have dozens of local Nachi members who have never posted and some who have stopped posting long before the pissing contests started. Most of them are out doing inspections and do not have time for it. You would be amazed at how much work you can get done by simply cutting out time wasted sitting at the keyboard trading barbs.

And threats on vendors, and members getting kicked out at the spur of the moment and organization bashing and members that aren't really members? and inspector(s) quitting, bashing and threatening Nachi, then mysteriously rejoining and......

That's pretty bad when Florida by far has the most members (824) and only about a dozen, who are some of the ones I respect the most, ever post here. Even during slow times.

Things are not really slow here. Im working every day and scheduled into next week. I think the reluctance to post has more to do with people who think they have to take over every thread to push their own agenda or ideas and for some time there was not a lot about home inspections and more about personal pet peeves and petty arguments that go on for weeks. Generally folks here spend time doing things with their families and friends because the weather permits and it is just more fun. There is always something going on locally to get you out of the house. They tend to enjoy life, and if they don't like you, they just tell you and try to avoid you. If you persist in screwing with them, then they'll just hurt you.

I can't speak for South or Central Florida. It is like three different States here. I just know how things are along the Gulf Coast as I was raised down here only further to the West.

Don't worry about Kenny...go ahead and make a fool of yourself. I just hope a lot of believers see your anti christian rants and deny you their business. Just the fact that you will drag Mother Teresa's name through the mud, shows that you are clueless, as to what is good and pure.

Seems as if you are the clueless one in regards to Mother Teresa. However, keep on praying for my business' demise (is that very Christian?). It's not working, business is excellent.

No kevy, you disregard the Bible, even though there are millions of witness's to God's truth, but you will believe one atheist lie about Mother Teresa, a fine human being. I never said I was praying that you don't get work, I said hope, a lot of difference. You don't have any right judging me concerning being a good christian, you are totally ignorant about it.
