Death of Axis? No!

I think part of it is where peoples' interests lie. Right now, I'm involved in politics and gardening, and my poetry thing. I spend time here when I can but that's been tight lately. It comes in waves...But I'm still around, and I've seen a few others around, too...
Mod
Neh, I think it is just a weird time, everyone seems busy. I normally live on Good reads when I'm at work, but these last weeks I just haven't had the time.
No, no, no...don't kill it. We're getting more action here than in a lot of groups. I'm teaching now...more later.The other group was a reaction to crap in other groups, not the Axis...I think the Axis has a good niche.
Mod
I'd hate to see it go, Charissa and everyone.
If anyone thought it should go, why would they still be in this group?
No, I like Axis the way it is. I understand why RA did what he did, it was sort of a non-violent form of protest. Donald did the same. I only have the ability to follow a few threads at a time these days, but I don't think it's dead at all.
You know, I should be careful with what I say...on a lark I thought we needed another place to talk...it wasn't completely connected to miniam issues. But I think every now and then we're going to need new ways to mix up conversations and participants. New boards are fun because people who had focused on only one or two boards tend to find new people and interactions. But that doesn't mean anything has to close. All boards will, I suppose, eventually die natural deaths, but I like True North, I like the Axis, and I liked Miniam. They all have their own feels and participants. Hey, let's face it, sometimes a smaller group is better, and not everybody around here likes each other and wants to interact with each other on boards. So...multiple boards, like rooms at a party, are good, right? I hope so.Group Hug!

Spot on, Dave. hmmm, that has a familiar feel to it. lol
I recently went through and weeded out my groups, resigned from a few. I wouldn't have considered resigning from Axis or Mini Am. I love them both. Sometimes I feel like the child of divorced parents though. Oh, wait...I am! :)
I haven't participated in True North really, on my couple of visits it seemed really heavy for me. That's good though, for y'all. So far I'm enjoying the new group quite a lot. I think that RA's thread starter questions might be my favorite of anyone, they are almost always clever and strange...two of my favorite qualities in life! And yet, I still think he's studying some sociological issues and I'm his guinea pig...

I haven't been in the group long but I really like it. I also like SSH's comment:I normally live on Good reads when I'm at work lol

Nooooo! Don't take teh Axis awaaaaaay! This is where I come for all my current events discussions, I learn here too! And I need the What Cheered Me Up thread and it's antithesis, which somehow also manages to cheer me up. Misery loves company and all.You silly girl. Axis has been more active than other groups lately. I think we're all wiped out from this election that seems like it's lasted my whole life by now.
Mod
Nick, must you???? Is there any end in sight???
Mod
Once the election is over, I hope people won't be starting a Clinton-style witchhunt with the Obamas and we can all return to sanity...:D
But yes, it will get better soon...Promise!
Mod
Hey...I signed up for outright vulgarity, buddy...And the Red Sox stink.
:)
KILL IT! KILL IT NOW!!What are we talking about?
Mod
I loves you guys. : )
Boo! bwahahaha! ... and a hail and hearty huzzah to Charissa. She's endured much, and conquered all.
Good show.
No burning at the stake? No hanging? No drawing and quartering?I guess I'll take my lawn chair and picnic basket and go home.
Glad to see the group's still here after a couple months absence. From the look of things it hasn't changed much either;-)Axis Mundi: still giving new meaning to "group home"...
Talk at y'all soon,
Johnny

Edit: Have to say it made me smile when I read someone felt True North was too -- I think the phrase was something to do with being too deep and heavy -- when I recall we have a current thread about our cats, and one thread a while back about the food we loved as kids but can't eat anymore.
That was me...I haven't gone in to see for a long time.

This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
In my absence... things have kind of gone dead here. Or... perhaps things were dying here before that. Perhaps we have explored all the deeper meaning that any of us are really interested in. Perhaps all the political infighting has driven even the most hardy of us from the halls of Axis. Is it the end of Camelot?
My co-moderator has even started his own group. That's how dead this place is.
Shall I put a stake through the heart of this beast and have done with it? Shall I pass the mantle of this forum to another willing soul to remodel and hang a sign "under new management"? Perhaps it is time for me to become just another voice again in the melee... not the traffic cop in the Halls of Mundi.
What say you all? Any thoughts? Any volunteers? Any nominations? Anybody got some chocolate?
Speak.
