Not having any time to be online 24/7,having kids to take care of,visiting with family you haven't seen in over a year cause they've spent it in Iraq making sure you're safe here to talk smack about them. (the last part wasn't aimed at you Fool,but they know who they are on AFN)

I think a pretty good reason for the lack of new posters is the fact that all people post about around here is the uninteresting to everybody else squabbling over the left-right political paradigm that really is only thought relevant in the United States by the less than sophisticated.

You just repeated yourself, thar bubs.

Nappy is right. The site is getting stale. All we post is the same old, same old.

We have lost some great posters; Astrapol, Turd Ferguson, Sparky, Red,
500poundguerilla, blibblob, and the list goes on and on.

All sites have changes in membership but lately we have been losing people and not replacing them with new people.

Truth is Frogger, I'm on my way out the door too. AFN has gone to shit lately, and it sickens me to even post sometimes.

Imp,
You've probably noticed that I have been posting a lot less lately. The sad fact is, Allforums has become boring. I hope it can get back to what it once was because if it doesn't it will simply fade away.

Me and you should stage another battle, Frogger. Those seem to have been lively.

Seriously though, I've thought about starting a forum where the only political discussion allowed was non-partisan. No bitching about the left or the right, threads started with that aim would be closed.

Perhaps a better idea would be to have the long term members of the forum each responsible for posting threads regarding a certain topic. We could stay away from US politics and current events for awhile and make a group effort to discuss stuff like foreign news and events, history, other philosophical topics.

Wikipedia has something they call Barn Stars, which are little awards given out to posters to thank them for their contributions to the 'pedia. Perhaps we could implement something like that on AFN?

Our little community has become entirely too stale. We all know each other too well and mystery makes for some great threads. Like the battles we all fought when I came and nobody knew quite what to make of me. Maybe we could form a "welcoming committee" of like four or five posters, two of which would challenge and bait the newbies into a good-natured fight, and the other three would back them up. It could go on for a little while, then we would all drop the ruse, congratulate them on being a good sport, and welcome them into the community. Little dramas like that would get more people to stick around.

I'd have to agree, although I think some of it has to do with there not being anything particularly interesting to discuss (amazing, considering it's an election year). I suspect if we see a democrat in the White House things will pick up a little bit just because there will be new things to discuss, and all of the partisan hacks will instantly change their stances on just about everything.

I think there are plenty of interesting things to discuss, it's just that we all know how the discussion will pan out. There are a few on here that want to see all political discussions as a "right versus left" of a "democrat versus republican" theme. They usually go on to monopolize the thread and turn it into yet another partisan pissing match.

Very few, if any, people are purely "conservative" or completely "liberal", it's just that there are some here that will always argue this way (without any true wisdom) and make those who want to actually discuss the real issues go away.

There have been many intersting topics to discuss, like global warming, the dangers of cell phone use, aerial sprayings, the harm of vaccines, ETC. but the discussions rapidly turn to one-sided slams.

I've been called a few foul names while trying to view my thoughts on certain topics that I find extremely important. 90% of the posters on this board are so completely one-sided, it makes me ill. They won't even TRY to hear another's opinion and the funny thing is, that other opinion is certainly worth listening to and many times right, but it doesn't even go that far. They, (me and a few others) get shot down and stomped on, only minutes after posting our thoughts.

I don't think that is very bright to always do that. The "I'm right and you are wrong" mentalilty of this forum is nauseating to say the least.

In other words..... Gee, I wonder why so many posters have LEFT AllForums?

The time to get a clue has long passed by.

Yes, I have noticed Frogger and I agree. It seems everyone has the need to be right no matter what the cause. and the debating skills are no longer alive, it's turned to insults and grade 3 behavior.

I've even calmed my jets and am no where near a bitch I used to be, maybe that my problem. I'm just to damn happy in real life to be so bitchy on the net.

Maybe I'll just have to use AF as a sparring board to flame and post intelligent discussions elsewhere, so I probly won't be around much either.

Spot on about when even one person leaves, the board loses.

I could have another bible quiz!:)

My serious appraisal of yer complaint rests on the fact that you
seem very eager and enthralled to cite and embrace the latest
cause celebre du jour and run rampant with it.
Like a Cindy Sheehan.Just losing yerself in that cause.
That leads to abruptness and irrational tendencies.
Of all the things I personally try not to mimic,Mob rule is
definately one of them
I juts as soon adopt the old Woody Allen adage :
I wouldn't want to be a member of any club that would
have me as a member.
Is all.

I tried to get one of my friends to join Allforums, and he was turned off by pretty much that exact problem. I've been doing my part to yell at the partisan tools on both sides to stop being such partisan tools, but to no avail. My David Attenborough routine has promise, though; I need to refine it more and try to get it to be a bit more effective.

Sidebar, though: When Allforums was in its infancy, partisan hackery was pretty common. Most of the political discussions were dominated by two prototypical Republican types (DaveTooner and Trav, though Trav has matured and grown more independent since) and two prototypical Democrat types (J_Lively and ConfusedYouth, though both of those were fairly interesting sorts, or at least I thought so at the time). I popped in and, being 14 and a political n00b, ended up becoming a prototypical 14-year-old socialist type. Luckily, I grew out of that.

My vote is for more cowbell.

Yer assessment,leaning entirely on Partisianship as being cause
uno,for lack of new viewers is dim.If that was the case,then why are
certain venues like - O'Reilly - and - Countdown - even - The View -
so popular,along with MoveOn.org and Media Matters,the - Daily Kos -
and Bill Maher or Arriana Huffington's blog.
Because being Partisan IS very popular,and even what motivates others.
I don't come to the Politico board to be Mr.Nice guy Moderate.
THAT'S what turns off REAL Politicos like me.

ITA, Fool. On my little Vile-inspired hiatus, I tooled around some other sites and what I found was this... internet whining is a national pasttime. Libs whine about Cons... Cons whine about Libs. Foreigners whine about Americans... Americans whine about foreigners. Men whine about women... women whine about men. And of course, needless to say... Reps whine about Dems and Dems whine about Reps. Libertarians stand back and wring their hands and wish everybody would just get along.

My friend Musiq found a great site to escape all the above... the Disney message boards. Unfortunately, she also found the exchanges there sickeningly sweet and basically meaningless.

Which leaves us with AFN... warts & all.

I have only been here a short while and I am enjoying the intelligent and civilized conversation. Some go off the subject a bit which seems to kill the thread, but all in all I am sensing a feel of community which is hard to find these days.

You're right, Canadianreader, but not totally right. We have you and Shorty from Canada and Paul from Ireland. We used to have Astrapol from France, Red from England and Shorty's Aussie. We also have an occasional poster from Japan, and have had posters from Italy and Abu Dhabi.

I would love it if we could get more of an international crowd but it seems we Americans are far too provincial to care about what is happening in other countries.

Maybe if we started posting articles from some of the European, Canadian, Near Eastern papers and magazines it would help.

There was that interesting story of the German father who locked his daughter in the basement for years and fathered a half dozen children from her, there are lots of interesting articles from Canada and Great Britain always has a lot going on.

Look at what is happening in Israel with Ehud Olmert. That could short circuit peace talks between Israel and Syria yet not a word about it in AFN.

I'll do my part to try to find interesting topics that are not necessarily American. Maybe others can also try.

LMAO! Yeah, before we went to Disney last month I was lurking around on some Disney boards to get some info and wow, it's an amazing collection of people with no real purpose in life. And they all have elaborate signatures showing how many times they've been to Disney World and how many kids they have and how old they are and all sorts of crap no one gives a damn about.

The best one are the boards at Mothering.com, where people have elaborate sigs listing their kids and what stage of breastfeeding they're at, complete with breastfeeding emoticons.

the slacker crowd,not too unlike Sarte/De Beauvoir and the

Their standard of living is tettering on the brink,due to the

Yeah, I thought so.

:lolhit:

(sorry, CR, couldn't resist. You should start a thread for Canadians ONLY and invite all your friends. Before you know it, y'all could take over this joint!)

I don't get it ~how sad for you.

Not only Canadians drink Molsen/Labatt !
In fact many a Canadian came to America to ply their schtick.
John Candy and Dan Ackroid,William Shatner and Michael J. Fox.
As a kid,however,the greatest Vacations were ever took was in
a sweet spot in Canada known as Honey Harbor.The Nor'thern Pike
were hittin,the waters were actually blue,and the atmosphere as
good as God makin little green apples for Mother Hubards homemade
pies.
Is all.

I'm glad you made the trip north my friend. Maybe we can go fishing the next time your up here.

if we were genetically predisposed to give a rodent's rump about the inner workings of Dublin's landfills, our ancestors never would have left.

IOW-if we cared, we'd be there, or trying to.

If I remember, your ancestors never left from here anyway.

I read alot of World wide news,just because we don't post about it everyday doesn't mean we don't care.

God you've gotten bitter paul. :(

What have I got to be bitter about ?

The threads here are exclusivly on an American theme, this I understand and have no problem with, I was referring to it in the context of putting none Americans off joining.

that's dadzila's side of the family. being more recent, they're easier to track. momzila's family has been here longer, and is more diverse in their origins.

Joe Clark ...who?

Joe Clark was a short term PrimeMinister who first called the US; America where Canadian's where disputed that claim at the time. Since then things have changed and we are reclaiming the name.

idk....when I first started posting here you were upbeat and always joking around and stuff. I don't see you do much of that anymore,or maybe I take some of your posts too literal cause I am used to you like I remember you from when I first started posting.


I would hope non American members aren't put off joining here because even though it can be a bit intense at times,the majority of posters here are good and I would imagine they are good people IRL.
With the exception of FT....he's pure evil. :D
j/k FT ;)

They gang up on the Canadians even the ones with visa's.

They do not!
If you feel you're being "ganged up" on it's because you are worse than a woman who has PMS,Menopause and pregnancy hormones all rolled into one. You don't see when someone is joking around with you and you come back with dumb remarks that make you look bad and makes others not want to assoiciate with you.

You're right... big girls don't cry.

*wipes nose on YOUR sleeve*

Now, my kanuck friend, tell Auntie SMW what makes you so frustrated?

:confused:
SMW

I want a Canada Forum so we can take over this place but you can't do that from a thread.

LOL... well, if you're planning to TAKE OVER this place, I can see your problem -- since you're not the one paying for the site, eh?

But that shouldn't stop you from starting your own thread and inviting all your Canadian friends to participate.

And BTW... I've been to Toronto a couple of times and you've never invited me to go fishing.

*pouts*

Sure will fish with you but not near Toronto I'm in Northern Quebec and Eastern Ontario. Type Lac Cole in google maps and that is where my friend lets me use his cottage.

SMW idea and I was writing about how hard that is under the present forums.

Zzzzz.
You may take things as you found them when joining CR.
This is an American based site, with American Administrators and vast majority of posters from that country, apart from SMW, shes from Texas.

No doubt there are plenty of Canadian sites out there, if you want parity with The United States crowd, good luck to you.

Sounds like fun! What do you use for bait?

I have a long-time girlfriend who lives just outside Halifax, NS. I'd love to go visit her someday, but damn, that's a long way from Texas! (She's been to visit me... drove here one summer. All that way with no a/c in the car! She's a pretty tough cookie!)

;)

This sounds alright and at present where rebuilding the bunk house for quest so if its done this June maybe we can. I hope you like Bass because some ass stocked the lake with it along time ago and the native Rainbow Trout got eaten by the Bass.

I like Bass myself but I would preferr the Rainbow Trout

I'm an American and want equal rep.

I think you need to be an American Citizen living in the USA to achieve equal representation.

Are Canadians still ruled under a foreign crown ?
