RE: thread about forums not bustling with activity

I was reading it and going to post only to find "commenting period has been closed."

That right there is one reason why this place isn't bustling with activity. Nothing is allowed to remain 'active' unless it's what I consider to be inconsequential fluffy nonsense. I know, they own it, they rule it. But, their rules are insulting and just plain stupid.

So true so true! I was looking forward to coming back to read what others thought only to find it was closed and it appears to be for no good reason.

I can not get over the posters who say they have noticed no change around here.

Re: RE: thread about forums not bustling with activity

It appears that thread turned a bit nasty, so it may be gone soon.

If you are concerned about the lack of activity, how about participating more and creating ne threads? Yes, there are rules -- for a good reason. When threads disappear, it is not fair to lame QVC; the fault lies on our fellow posters.

Re: RE: thread about forums not bustling with activity

It seems many comments get lost amongst the arguing. So really, there is little point of responding anyway.

Re: RE: thread about forums not bustling with activity

If they are going to close the thread, I wish they would do it before poofing posts.

I continue to shake my head about nasty, multi, nic trolls continue to be able to post over and over, but.......... light, funny, benign posters' comments/threads get poofed.

I know, their board, their rules, blah, blah, blah.......{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

jmo, of course. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Re: RE: thread about forums not bustling with activity

It seems like there used to be so many new threads started every day all day long. The boards used to be busy all night long too.

Maybe we're just all tired of each other - LOL

Re: RE: thread about forums not bustling with activity

I must agree that the board is not bustling with activity, some of the more intelligent posts, the witty posts, the fun and lighthearted posts are missing lately.

And for that, I apologize.

It is Fall in the Ozarks, I have been busy. I am so sorry Cool

And as my dear friend donna would say, jmo of course {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

(and donna, can you believe it? The Royals pulled it off in the 12th last night!)

Re: RE: thread about forums not bustling with activity

So many articulate, intelligent posters seem to be missing that it just isn't as much fun coming here anymore. Debates are all so closely monitored that Viewpoints is no longer a place to state an opinion.

I was wondering what happened to Ennui and Tam? I remember both of them coming back recently with new nics only to see them gone within a day or two. Add to that a multitude of other posters that are missing and this board has become a shadow of what it used to be.
