I agree that there is no life in the board right now, but how can this be remedied? Once the gimmicks go - which is a necessity for the serious posters here - there will be a clean slate to start in depth debates etc and get some decent banter flowing but i fear it will stagnate after a few months. What is needed is for the leaders of this site to get together and find a way to make it fun to post here again. Too many people take things too seriously, i.e. real life threats (comical at best) when we could simply acknowledge peoples opinions and offer a counter supported by our own sense of validity.
I tend to avoid posting now because of the senseless replies, alot of these posters serve no purpose and have a knowledge base that stretches to nothing more than, "meltdown!" or "ha ha youre stupid". I am also not ashamed to say that the Wrestling Board is probably the best i have posted on. Everyone there - especially the mods - has an in depth knowledge of all subjects and the banter is brilliant. There is no aggressive posting, no bitching, just a true sense of camaraderie through a common interest.
