I'm with you, Monkeyman. It just seems like we've been feasting on Tiki and new finds seem to come up with less and less regularity. Amazing stuff is certainly still out there - Sabu comes up with the goods every time.

Yet, Tiki Central is as 'healthy' as it's ever been. Just look at the number of posts per day compared to a year ago. But saying that, perhaps it's because of the deluge of posts that we are no longer able to savour each post, or even each thread. I check Tiki Central most days, but if I've been away a couple of days, it feels like I've lost 2 dozen topics to the ether.

What's the solution? Hmmm, not too sure really. Perhaps we could all try to nip some of our more pointless posts in the bud and and ask ourselves "Is this really of any interest to anybody?" I certainly could do a bit of self editing! I was shouted down a while back by Bong & Pop when I pointed out that having the number of posts next to your name only encouraged pointless posting. It must be said, nobody else seemed to be against it. (Now that you've broken your 1000 guys, I'm sure you don't mind me saying that)

There's life in the old dog yet, though, so ideas such as the International Day of Tiki, having Shecky go round the world, and creating new Tiki Central merch go a way to keeping it fresh. We can't all find a new Tiki bar every day, but you can all think up new ideas to keep the Moai spinning.
