Back when Howdy +1 Bill was the official greeter in the nightly radio threads things did indeed seem to be much livelier in there. And then one night you had to post a picture of a giant penis flopping around in the SOR thread and Bill left the board taking all his plus 1's with him.
I don't care about plus 1's but I do miss being greeted with a "Howdy" and you have ruined all that.
