A bit of a generalisation don't you think cobbber? So I'm curious, how is the forum turning to crap?
O K creech i dont wont to get into a argument here but you asked
and you can delete my posts if you want
But this is how i see it
Most of the people that where here at the start have come crawling back to AA and no longer post
here as much as the did
There seems to be some sort of fall out with the site sponsors so guys like Markc are not posting as much as they use to
You try to put your opinion across and you get the same no'alls trying to shoot you down
A classic example of this is the container day in the west thread. What the f**k did that thread have to do with Markc
There is no animosity over on AA about this site that i have read but on this site there is still some dicks that like to take a shot
I could be wrong but i think the post count is getting less and less not growing like it should be ( you probably have statistics to prove me wrong so lets just say the posts are less interesting)
Thats about it for now
I could be wrong on all counts but this is just the way i am seeing it
Creech when you were on the other site and had a few confrontations with sponsers i allways posted what i thought
whether it contradicted you or wayne so i will do the same here
These are just my opinions no one has to agree but instead of arguing or trying to defend anybody how about just taking them on board
With all due respect, I'm listening (and I'll keep doing so), but I don't quite understand how this thread has raised the issue of forum vs forum and Sponsor vs Sponsor. Was this triggered by the "Container Day in the West" thread ? I've just re read the thread and it seemed to be running fine until there was some words between two members regarding a member's comment about "only buying from MarkC". There were a couple of return serves and a "container emptying challenge" issue - which looked like good humor. So I "think" I understand where you are coming from, but looking at the altercation, there were some blows from both "parties".. I thought everyone would move on..
The "post count" is not what defines this site and there are other sites with many more members and posts than here. I'm not lowering myself to taking pot shots at other forums as it is a dead issue for me. It may still be happening, but I certainly don't give any time worrying about it. As history has shown - it sometimes comes from any individual who is a member of both sites.
Here's the stats you were asking for;
http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?action=statsCompare December 2008 to 2009 as an example because it is the busiest month - Increases in ALL AREAS - Topics, posts, threads... etc..
If sponsors or members choose to post more or less, then that is entirely up to them. Members flow between sites and forums, crack the shits with other members, have disagreements with mods, sell of their collections, stop buying from dealers etc etc.. We cannot control that, and ASSUME, that if the "report post to moderator" is not used, then most things are going sweet.
I hear you morrie - Not sure of how to fix it - but you are more than welcome to PM me if you have any concern(s) further to what you have expressed on this thread.
