Re: "Dead" forums

[ Edited ]

I post on both boards and both have slowed down quite a bit.  When the Q closes for good, the PB will be very busy.  I'm glad I'm a PB member and find it easy to navigate.  I don't participate in the Q's facebook group.

 

I wonder if the Q will provide a shut down date or just shut down without notice?  Or maybe just take away the sign-in function for good.  Either way, I believe it's inevitable.

Another bash session-why? If you don't like it there why announce it, other than to create drama I guess? Seems hs and juvenile to me.

I haven't found any difficulty post on the PB forums at all.  In fact, I think the other board is very well set up and allows a lot of personal fine-tuning.

 

I admit I don't understand the seemingly non-ending criticism of it by those who don't want to register or post there.

 

I've been on this board for more years than my nic info shows (they reset it, when the boards were revamped in 2010) and until they shut down (and I think they will), I'll continue to read and post here.

 

But I also read and post on ProBoards and will continue to.  There's no benefit to anyone to keep trying to dissuade or persuade others from using either.  Perhaps everyone's New Year's resolution could be to "live and let live"?


Why such defenses when there are posts about PB that are not all sugar and compliments?

 

Lots of posts complaining about Q forums too.

 

What's the big deal?

 

Yes, perhaps a resolution to live and let others post what they want about PB and Q. No need to shame or muzzle.

Guess they don't talk about QVC or the posters here on that board?????

I just scrolled through, and I see one thread about a poster. Other than that, no, not a bad word about here.

Nope. The only Q forum related topic I can think of right now is someone wondering why they were said to be banned.

Then again I am sure some posters know, because they might have registered there and don't post there.

Yes there is a thread about a poster, with several posters wondering why Q forum posters don't just ignore the threads rather than get bothered by them.

 

I don't think it's a thread about them, just posts. Can't recall for sure and at this point I really don't care.

Oh! Sorry about that! That flew right over my head, LOL!

@songbird I post on both boards too (I’ve seen your posts there.)  A lot of nice people on the other board. Sorry it didn’t work for you.
