I remember a few years back when these forums were busy as ever, I remember the gallery pages and even the help section had tons of replies... I come back after a couple of years and they are like a ghost town.

What happened? How come everyone stopped posting? The most active forums here take days to get a reply and even then most topics only get one or two.

Someone fill me in? (Waits a few days)

haha Your not the only one to be asking this question and I'm sure if you search back far enough you will see many threads like this one... I don't know what's happen to be honest. I know I wasn't on for a couple of months because of work but lately I've been doing an effort to drop in a word or two.

No I don't milk them I just watch them milk themselves.... :D... It's actually not hard milking a cow... plus one of the farms I worked at the cows would pretty much actually milk themselves... it was all automated nd when ever the cows wanted to get milked they would go to a line and it would send them to a carousel that was automated to milk them... it was pretty sweet to watch..
