Author Topic:   This is what i don't understand

I don't understand why people say this forum is dead and yet the same people are the ones who only respond to posts that are pro/anti-firaxis, or meaningless drivel like "blah's".
I understand that both serve a purpose. I've responded in several myself and will probably continue to do so.
What i don't understand is that there are other good threads that don't get the posts they deserve and are not being responded to by the people who could contribute to them.
I'm not saying every thread should have 100 posts, but if you look at the ones that are close to this, almost all fit into one of these 2 categories. (except for the strategies and fiction forums...)

Led Zep...the thing with many posters here is that either you have posted in a few threads and then get either bored or tired of the key board(As is the case with me...I am not a good typist and hate it ...cant wait for voice recognition to be smoothed out)or bored and tired of the subjects. Many people who were here in the past have seen the same subjects come up time and time again which of course is the nature of the beast. But they just get tired or bored of saying it all again. Thus the idea to them that the forum is dead due to no new subject matter. I for one never suggest the forum is dead ,as long as people come along and post it is a functioning site. When the site is shut down then it can be declared dead. I suspect that after SMACX or SMAC2 it will pick up in terms of volume of posts each time but then trickle back down to a few again until the next interesting deal comes along. Anyway thats what I see and "thats my story and I'm sticking to it". :P
