Of course, I realize that there is no hurricane threatening the US tonight, but I've never seen so few people in the Talkin' Tropics room. Does a storm have to be on our doorstep to stimulate interest in the tropics? 8-)

There was more people around when the "This season is a dud" whining was going on.

I think it just pertains to the fact that many here (myself included) have lives besides the computer. Also, many come in here when activity is more attention-grabbing (such as when new information is constant).

Reminds me of the sad old Irish song "Nobody Likes A Recurver".

Forgive me for saying that "Don't shoot yet, ask questions first this time!" is a comma splice! 8-)

Wow, only 36 people! I stopped in because I'm on break at work to see what's going on, I try to stop in at least once a day.

It's funny how when Ernesto was declared a TD for the first time there were almost 10 times as many people viewing.
