Why does this forum suck?

diddle · Post by **diddle** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 11:23 am

Its ridiculosly inactive for most of the day. But why? Is it because its littered with crap about politics and religion? Is it because people who used to post here are leaving? Is it because the mods are cracking down on anyone with a free will? Is it because we're becoming inundated with noobs? Is it because it currently has its most retarded name yet? Before we solve the problem, we need to identify its source. I put it to you, forum-goers, why does this forum suck?

A forum is only as good as its posters.

I would, but I highly doubt everyone else will. Its almost as if people just don't want to post.

This forum went down the pan when Xtra got banned and when jay's logic/god thread fizzled out.
But seriously:

Why doesn't Stopper post anymore? It's probably because good posters have gone. Norse - love him or hate him, he made this a more interesting place.

We need to resurrect this place with a series of interesting and thought-provoking threads that stimulate good debate while giving the nutters enough rope to hang themselves with.

No pokemon.

To be honest, I think it went down the pan a long time ago. The place just doesn't feel like a community anymore.

Yargh, I agree! It was a community when there wasn't as many politcal debates, there were clever threads, no ron paul.....

We all knew each other, thanks to the 'Get to know a CCer.....' threads.

Stopper, from what I hear, is very busy boinking Italian sluts.

I'd rather talk about pokemon than Ron Paul. I used to have some great conversations with Reed which included pokemon. And leather. And chains.
