Are that forums in decline?

[malabo]

I get sort of a feeling there are fewer people here than in the past and everyone is less active and more apathetic.There seem to be fewer new posts, and people don't seem to respond as much. You guys just don't seem very enthusiastic these days...

As time goes on more of us get access to the lifer forums. We can't be expected to keep all you peasants at the bottom entertained too. It's too much

FB and Tweeter took most of the narcissists.

I originally came here because a friend told me about the hot deals threads... When I stumbled upon OT, I realized that there are people way more messed up than me out there. I keep coming back for that daily confidence boost.

Except for the bathrooms. God damn it, none of you ever want to pick of a god damn mop! I'm sick of the sticky floors.

Holidays. Lot of people are out and about and just coming back. There'a also a lot of other areas out there. I for one started a new job last year that's pretty consuming, so I don't get as much time to post anymore

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

The current generation only wants to read opinions and facts that they agree with. Any forum will contain people that have diverse thinking, and if kids of this generation don't agree with it then they avoid it or try to destroy it.

That, and they can't take their eyes off their cellphone (Facebook, Twatter, etc) or TV for more than 2 minutes to do this crazy thing called read.

I don't know why you keep letting someone punch you in the face everytime you go in there

I came here to post that.

It used to be one big fun free-for-all. Now users (especially potential new users) need to:

1) Use just one specific subforum, hope there is a critical mass of users in that subforum, and then usually leave with their thoughts unread/questions unanswered.

or

2) Figure out a complex way to recombine the subforums into again one fun free-for-all. It is possible, but it isn't easy or intuitive. And it only half solves the problem. I can have fun seeing all the posts, but the reverse isn't true, not very many people see my posts.

I'm OK with SOME subforums, but the amount they have here is ridiculous and stupid and completely fragments the user base.
