It seemed to me that the threads I have bookmarked were not getting near as many posts since the BETA version of silicon investor came out so I did the following quick calculations and found (if my numbers are close to being right) that SI's posting business is less than half of the posts per day since they instituted the new SI. I feel it is not as much because people don't like the new SI as much as how slow everything has gotten and all of the errors you now get while trying to navigate. Anybody else have any thoughts on this?
