This is the only forum i really visit with any frequency because its the only one that holds my interest. Maybe it is endemic. I dunno.
Yeah, I've kind of abandoned the other two forums I used to spend time on. PD is kind of it.

I'm kind of looking for a new one, myself.  The apathy and lassitude here has pretty much killed it for me over the last year or so.

If it is endemic you may not find one. Youre right about facebook. Facebook groups are an attempt to absorb the model of a forum into social media. Because facebook is the walmart of the internet.

There are boards out there.  Just not many I can see on this computer.

And yeah, it's the WalMart of the internet.  And we lost ALL of our traffic to it.  Boy, it's a good thing we're brighter than the average ape.

Most of them aren't even trollworthy.  It's like trying to troll Twitter.

Interestingly enough, I just got a PM explaining that the reason people don't post is "because you (me) are always complaining that people don't post".

Well, shit...I knew THAT.  I am responsible for all bad things.  Including, apparently, the sender's NEED to sulk and show me what for.

Well would there be a way to redirect some of the activity back here? Perhaps everytime a new thread is started up post the link and only the link there and refuse to discuss it over at the groups?

Go ahead, and let's see what happens.

You'll forgive my lack of enthusiasm, but every time I get involved in something like this, I find out I'm on my own.

Sort of like Charley Brown trying to kick the football.   :lulz:

I'm in on trying to generate more traffic here.
I frequent a couple of other forums too, and the only one with more traffic than PD is an ARG forum. The other ones are deader than this by a million miles.

Facebook is for games and keeping tabs on family (but I originally joined just for the games. I know, I'm weird). Why anyone would want to talk there is beyond me.

This cold or whatever it is seems to be on it's last stage for me, thank goodness. The boy has been home today with a fever, but hopefully be fine tomorrow. Poor kid is so looking forward to going trick-or-treating.

Luna

Sadly, FB is easier for me on weekdays because I can glance at it from work.  It rates two minute blocks of my time...  Here is much more of a time commitment... and posting here on my phone, especially with the touch-screen keyboard, gives me a migrane.

Also, I'm stupidly happy at the moment, so ranting doesn't work...  Lemme dig through my brainpan and see if there's anything else in there worth looking at.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.
