Q Talk

I've noticed ovr the last 6 months to a year, IMHO the posts and replies have dwindled. I'm busy, too but try to check and reply at least every other day. My concern is losing the forums.

How often, if ever, do you begin a thread or post a reply?

@Shanus I have noticed the same thing. I'm hoping that it is due to people being on vacation.

I don't post as often as some people but if I feel like I can contribute useful information I will. I also feel some people post too much so I skip their post.

I honestly had not noticed that, i think i do a pretty good job,of posting.

Perhaps the past six months have been overtaken with OTHER CONCERNS than the Q Forums...

I have to say I agree with you.  I've noticed this myself that it seems to be dwindling.  I enjoy coming here and I still post some replies but I feel I am slowing down with it. Honestly, many recent topics I just don't have any interest in.   Last week I even found some of the threads a bit upsetting so I stayed away a bit.   With all that's going on in the world, I tend to enjoy it here when we can all just be "friends" and not comment on the forbidden subject.    People are just people and they have to go with their heart as to how they feel, it's not right or wrong.........IMO.

I've also noticed the dwindling posts. I believe it is because a few come here to stir up problems and so many posts need to be removed. It is no longer fun or enjoyable to post which is sad. It often seems as if a few ruin things for others.

I notice that too---many of the same old posts --gets a little boring. I have been posting alot lately  and adding new ones too and adding new threads. I come here in the a.m. as well as check in the afternoon. Been coming here since 2012. I hope they don't do away with these forums.

@RetRN  I was going to say the same thing. Maybe some don't want to bother to post because of snarky or unkind remarks. It can be a turn off.

@Shanus 

While I read the posts every day with the AM digital paper, I try to respond whenever I see a post that warrants it.  

As for starting threads, maybe  2 or 3 a month.

Hearts I give daily.

I've noticed that so many posts get deleted. Some are deleted for minor issues.

This forum is a lot busier than the Proboards.
