I think that this site has undergone a large change in the last six months and I think many do not find it as interesting as it once was. Seniors are known for their opinions and they are quick to express them. Debate is interesting to many who read this forum. There have been and will always be people who like to "get things going" and those who are always going to argue. I am most certainly one of those. Like all who do it, I think I'm right. But I have gotten "Points against my name". I may disappear from this forum one of these days.

I am not immune. As for the high volume of posts, I have no excuse. I find this group fascinating.

Yesterday was National Letter Writing Day, so there you go, everyone was putting pen to paper.

I get on this forum several times a day for a short period of time, mainly to see if any recent threads interest me, or if previous threads that have interested me have any new input. Maybe it's me, but I just find fewer interesting, stimulating exchanges than in the past. I don't have an answer for the why, but it seems I sometimes go a day with nothing that attracts me to a thread. Again, it may just be me and my changing interests, but I still find the site more interesting than say, Facebook.

It's been my personal observation, that once you get past the innocuous posts on people asking for help, or just non-controversial generic subjects, and get into those that walk the fine line of politics/current events...the conversation quickly devolves into certain 'cliques' taking over. And just like clockwork, one can quickly guess as to which cliques...will post which viewpoints. Since a lot of those more controversial threads are oftentimes locked fairly quickly...the interest quickly wanes. And I'm pretty sure, that my observations will in essence...be proved by subsequent posts. Then again...I could be wrong. |

We all have our own biases and tend to agree with people that agree with us. Yes, I agree that there is clique like behavior on this site. But then again cliquish behavior is part of human nature and is certainly not exclusive or limited to these forums. And I agree, it's easy to predict which groups will come out on either side of any given topic. Anyone that has been on this forum for any length of time will see that. None of us are innocent. We all have our beliefs and most aren't afraid of voicing their opinion. It's when people post purely with the intent to prove someone else wrong or just prove themselves right is when things start to devolve. Again, not unique to these forums. So did I prove your observations?

Next Door appears to be getting a lot of traffic lately. They keep adding neighborhoods. It is relatively easy to search.

That may well be a significant part of it.

I know that I can think of a Thread to open to stir the Pot if you wish. It would liven things up but is very controversial.
I also notice there is hardly any talk about restaurants and related issues like there was several months ago. No seat saving, line dancing, dog dilemmas, just NOTHING to sink your teeth into. A great man on here told us all once that Forums Ebb & Flow. I think we are Ebbing. It's cool though. I predict everything will be fine. Maybe we should check on the Cart Path to Walmart on 441?? How about a good Fenney Tunnel VS. Bridge debate. How about people who start interesting threads, never me, getting spanked and dropping off the board to cool their jets for a while?? Oh yeah How about Gas VS. Electric?? |
