    The impending death of the forum.....?

    I think its Islandman who alluded to the fact that this forum may not survive for much longer.

    Some good folks have been chased off.............

    I recall the days when this forum was buzzing with banter, respectful but passionate disagreements.
    The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough

          We have lost a lot more regulars than Historian in recent times. Any discussion forum will lose members over time but the problem here is that we are not adding very many new members so the active conversations have dwindled down to a trickle and very few new thoughts are entering the discussions. We have had ups and downs in participation before but this Olympics was the first time I have seen so few discussions.

          This is becoming like a country church that hasn't attracted new members in 20 years and so the average age of the congregation is more than 70. Any such organization is in a death spiral and I fear that this is a dying forum.

            Sad, when I moved to this country, this was the forum that allowed me to link with my fellow Jamaicans. Unfortunately, it transformed from a forum to debates and banter into something else.

              The forum does have its decorum issues ,I have stated as such , and people will come and go.From what I have seen some of us dont like to be called out on positions ( Thin skinned ) that are contrary to there's.I see nothing wrong with brutal sarcasm, the personal denigration (foul lanaguage ) is another issue.

              We have issues that some of us hold dear, politics, music , sports etc , some of us just dont know how to debate and accept another point of view with grace.Miss- torian was one of them,then we have moderators playing fav as to which post to delete .

              We have issues I will admit that.

                  I see you insist on pointing the finger at Historian. Is the X a clear indication of you being constantly wrong? Historian was not the problem .... I have not seen him chase anyone off the forum. Stop trying to rewrite history. Secondly, there is a difference between having debates ... passionate debates .... and acting like a ... (what's the word I am looking for .... let's try .. sketel. Finally ... the man's name is Historian .... stop follow people.

                    What you stated is a classic example of what I just argued about , people having a difference of opinion and not being able to debate it , or accept a different point of view ,1st things .

                    1) I said Miss torian was one of them, not the only one
                    2) Its my opinion
                    3) Your opinion of me being constantly wrong, tells me you have a preconcieved belief that I have never been right , so for you to view anything I say comes with obvious bias, it also hints of being thin skinned when an opinion is contray to yours.
                    4)No one cant chase anyone off the site, you leave on your own accord
                    5)Miss- Torian is my sarcastic brutal way of stating he is soft mentally!

                      I have no preconceived beliefs about you XubeRant. I have been posting here since when? And every year you predict that Liverpool will win the league. Prove me wrong ... when were you correct? Wait ... let me get mi popcorn.

                          Forum decorum? Didn't that go out the window when people were chasing others off the forum? Looks like Burnley give you amnesia. Oh ... I was looking for you guys to bring in Ibe or Benteke but realized they were sold but Jordan Henderson is still the captain ... oh .. wait ... we were talking about decorum?

                              .... you want my solution? How about calling the ite Historian and stop trying to fit in with the Trump like crowd. Get over the first hurdle before thinking about the finish line.
