which do you prefer

So, I've watched this site evolve from a busy friendly forum, to the almost cricket silence it is today. That made me wonder, do people prefer friendly chit chat, or heated debates with name calling and a bunch of rudeness which we have never allowed here?

I'm not going to do a poll, no one ever pays attention to them anyway. If you have an opinion, please, feel free to express it here.

Or, the dead forums could just be part of the evolution of forums. Either way, if you have an opinion, please, by all means, express it.

I enjoy smart, snarky comments and dialogue that is both fun and playful. It doesn't take long for "Everything SUCKS!!!!!!!" personalities to throw cold water on everything. Respectful comments at a bare minimum.

The multi-intrest threads like the kind, SydneySinbad post are awesome (planes, architecture, nature, oh, and amazing beauties). Hey, we're all here to enjoy beautiful women in all shapes and sizes, but there is also more to life. Really.

No disrespect to Oskari, James60, jhope1 and others who spend TONS of time curating fantastic collections of delectable visuals. I know it takes a bunch of time, which I personally don't see to have at the moment - so no help from me.

Thanks for your input tawdry

This.

Hey let's let people discuss politics, identity politics, and religion. What could possibly go wrong?

@Kanzen

I blame Obama.

Thanks for asking. I prefer boobs.

Personally I enjoy creating the threads that I do, so I guess that's my "topic of interest" right there.

I would, however, get involved in other threads if I was interested. As Tawdry has said, SydneySinbad creates some excellent threads of other categories, but for me they are more of a "watch from the outside" thread rather than a "get involved" thread. Similar to mine I guess.

I'm not a fan of those "last letter first" threads of which there seem to be many, but some people seem to enjoy them a fair amount.

I also think that an instant-messaging system would work a lot better if you want to have people talking back and forth - it might just be me but I think that method would help conversation flow.

I can't say much in this thread because I'm just usually a lurker. Been around for a long time but don't post much.
My opinion is that we're losing a lot of the people who contributed to the randomness of the forums. Honda, SugarPie, FeFeHumHum etc etc. They forums aren't dying, they're just waiting for the right people to bring them back.
