who posts these days? both public and private forums seem to have hit a quiet patch lately
i have a solution - everyone fears someone here. maybe if we admit of who we fear then people will post again - i'll grab the guitar and start playing as we sit round the camp fire
"Who oh who are you afraid of..."
me - i fear no one, bring it on
I have 2 general forum posts in over the last 2 weeks. As a former high forum contributor, thats sad.

And who wants to be around people you loath, it's much easier to leave the party and find a new one (or a private one) where you can enjoy yourself.
It is like the guy who always has an opinion, and always has to share it, no matter how trivial or idiodic or unwanted. He is always there with all his gumpyness, breaking up the party, usually has a strange smell about him, noone wants to hang around him, has bad coffee breath, tends to lurk in other people's office, gives you the creeps.
I think you know what I'm talking about.

You didn't graduate from the drooling stage to cower in a public forum and return to them. Got a beef? Fine. Open your mouth. Speak it.

Sick chapters now closed. Members who fed at those internecine troughs now go hungry. New blood joined the fray. It's breeding civility.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundThe forums have sucked for a long time.
The forums suck now, because they are sterile, boring, and have lost any fun element.
Most of the good posters left the public forums and went to the good clubs, making them even worse.
All that is left is the most infantile, like yourself.
