If concrete - a pillar surely?

If a short, dumpy one

This is one thing I see that deters me from talking so much. TOO MUCH READING! That's why I'm never here. I take an hour just to catch up on what I've missed. The threads are too long and that might be why new members don't show up. It takes time to integrate into a forum and nobody wants to jump right in when there is literally hundreds of pages to read before you can figure out what the heck is going on.

Maybe we can post more new threads and keep them short and sweet. Because the pages themselves are even long enough to read. I haven't even read page 1 of THIS thread because I just wanted to put my input out there since I'm one of those members that don't show their face.

EDIT: And this is just me, but the way we keep up with the forum by just looking at the "unread replies to your posts" section is just exclusionary. I constantly go to dead or almost dead threads because it's the most convenient way to connect with the forum. I think it causes me to leave out other active threads and make me feel excluded when people talk about things from other threads I had no idea were active.

Also it creates a competing set of functions where I could go to the "Show new replies to your posts" or manually search the forum where they show the most recent post anyway. I hope that's not just me but I find the two functions really competitive.

Maybe we could get rid of that feature and just get used to a regular way of searching a forum?

So you complain about having to read too much by posting a long post? 😄

Why, that too, of course. And various pottery type stuff. The urn containing the ashes of Mabus. He is that, also. Oh, the rigors of being Omni!  :(

What's it matter?
Irony.

I guess nobody took it serious then.

I do, but I don't agree. If there aren't a lot of discussions going on, the forum would be just dying.

The forum is dying already from what I've read.

I also want to know. I think Apathy and Buddy are our youngest members, I want to know what "the kids" are into these days when it comes to forums. What do they like to talk about? How do they like to say it? With as few words as possible?  :shrug:
They are the future of this place.

It's not dying. Discussing how to move forward implies we think there is a future, not whether there will be one.

People's priorities and values change with time.

Another forum I am on seems to be dying. There was a short time of crisis and the membership and "traffic" dropped dramatically.

There were reasons for this but that forum was a different type from this, less eclectic for a start.
