I would think not. Its just seems life is keeping us all busy right now. It wouldn't hurt to me more enthusiastic to new comers instead of slamming them with "Google it" remarks.

When 15 new comers come on the forum asking very simple questions that a very basic Internet search will provide answers to, it becomes very tedious to answer each and every one. In some cases "google it" is the best answer that can be provided.

It's been quite dead lately. I'm starting to feel that this forum may be on it's last legs.

We have the same, average amount of traffic every day/month. While it appears that the site is not as active because they're not posting, they're still using it as a reference site. That's why it's so important to not respond with "Google it". Help them with the information they (the new member) need so they continue to visit and post.

Yep. Totally stalking this place. The scenario threads are my favorites. It's great learning material for someone with no field experience. --EMT Student.

I have spent the last two hours trying to catch and release a rat I found in the house. I tried catching it. I tried telling it what an awesome paradise the neighbors fruit trees are. I got a flute and tried to lure it out of the house. No dice. I'm afraid it's rat trap and peanut butter time.

I am still lurking, but I am working 6 days a week right now to finish up medic school. Not quite as free as I used to be at the moment lol. 2 months and this awful schedule will be over.

I'm still lurking. But working full time for Rural Metro and picking up extra shifts on my days off. Now just got a second job working at an amusement park for the summer as an EMT. Also have still been dealing with moving and I keep telling myself that I need to start on packing. :eek::confused:o_O

What is up with all the resurrected threads these past couple days. Stuff near the end of last year is one thing, but an eight year old thread jeez. I'm all for people contributing to this forum, but let's start a new thread or run a search if all you are finding is threads that are that old.

My favorite was "what should I use to protect my patient from the rain as I load them in the ambulance?"

Lol!?

Full potato!
