This forum used to be bustling with activity.

What do you think happened to cause it to change?

Re: This forum used to be bustling with activity.

A combination of taboo subjects being deleted, people getting angry at each other and threads being deleted, and interjecting politics into so many threads that then get deleted.

It's frustrating to try to carry on an interesting "discussion" with others only to have it turn sour and get deleted. Makes one think twice about even getting involved.

I can't say. My habits haven't changed much. Most of the time I get to spend here, is in the evenings....pacific coast time, but there were always east coast night owls, as well as posters from the central and western sections of the country posting regularly at this time....

I do have to say, that I've commented on this before, and gotten negative feedback.....sort of like..."let's just shoot the messenger".

I have been here since 2004. I dare say you also know what went on before 9/14/2013.

I've been posting about a year & I think all those things have been happening since I started posting.Was it different before that?
