Anyone can start a thread in GD at any time, that's what it is for. I can't see how closing this thread would encourage that.
Ditto... I remember when I randomly posted in here and have ever since. Anyone is welcome

I do wonder about traffic but it feels like this has turned into lurk central or that old hit rod that's sitting out in the pasture. Jbrew got to agree with you bud...they need to make it a bit flashier. It does looks sleepy now lol

" it screams "private conversation, move on" and it always has the top of the page and the moderators feed it.

of coarse in todays world who know why people own websites, does activity really mean anything or does the total members justify the advertising revenue.
does have a thriving board with lots of active member really mean anything to the bottom line?
I understand what you're trying to say here. Don't know that I completely agree, but interesting thought

I should have said in my first response, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

NFL and highschool football kicked off this week. 2 of the biggest things in America. It is mentioned here, but not in GD.

With any website there is a core group that kind of pushes things along.

your core group has desided to post here rather than individual threads. Could this be a problem? could it be why there are so few new threads.

I am not hatting on anyones fun or socializing, i think it is great that some of you have formed a friendship that lives in this thread. i just think it has a secondary effect.

I think they post more than enough in other threads.....this is just a less busy forum than some others...whether thats good or bad is opinion.....most forums I'm on have a chat thread.....some are very busy, others aren't busy at all, but it never affects the quality of on-topic forum discussion.

I'm glad someone cares about fixing things. That's the biggest one right there vs all the why's and what happens. Ignoring it while it's staring you in the face. Hell what do I know ?

We should of had a poll choosing the colors instead of the brown noser vote that took place. They just changed it, no input from the users, just a few patting RP on the back for doing so. That wasn't the way IMO. The site use to be attractive....many moons ago. An attractive site is what draws you in at first, - we already have great tech. I might even be more polite if the look wasn't so depressing lol.

It wasn't exactly Vibrant Green like I mentioned before. It was a cool color of green. I just said vibrant because just about anything is,- in comparison to what the site looks like now.
