The Covid 19 year has not only made a lot of aspects of life across globe challenging, but I have seen another effect.
The fun factor at Mylot seems to have gone down.
A few users who were active and pulling leg of each other in their discussion are no longer doing so.
Some have become inactive.
A few are more serious now.
I sometimes try to make up for some fun, but hey genetically I am not a very jovial person, and hence fun ideas are not my big forte.
What about you folks?

Ha ha and here I was watching Mission Impossible 1996, with a phrase Job:314 which actually meant something related to a Bible verse.
Well, in short; the world is round!

I find that many ole faithful members are gone. Yes, the fun factor of this site isn't the same.

I would try some of the things from my end.
The results: well I would follow what Bhagwad Gita says: Do your duty(Karma)and do not worry about the results(fruits of karma).

Yet overall, it is not that enjoyable. May be lives have been adversely impacted due to Covid.

Yet some folks- their interaction and level of involvement has changed here.

Most people are getting sad and depressed, have lost their sense of humor.

Yes and recently some are even pointing to a few discussions of mine here and asking things which they earlier were not.

I agree the general trend is to play it safe except for JJ who can get across his views tongue in cheek at times.
It is tricky too as innocent effort at being funny can turn out hurting a few.
I recall one of my posts was twisted to convey a meaning that I never had and it was also clear from other responses my post was not indented to hurt.
Some fun should not hurt but would be worth a good natured laugh.

JJ is sometimes cryptic and does not responds on everything. Horse can also bring some fun element but that is a bit down now.

I admit to be not as regular at mylot as I used to be, but partly I blame this new Firefox update for this as it made typing a big pain at mylot for me. Otherwise, this browser can handle multiple tabs very gracefully which was a big plus and do not slow down the device.

You can try Chrome now. I had stopped using Chrome since a long time. However, recent changes have made Chrome much faster.
I have replaced Firefox with Chrome as of now.

Politics doesn't bothers me. Yet the fun factor is missing more here.

Well I came back in September from a long break. It looks kinds of the same as when I used to be here.
