Maybe just have this board and a politics board (which incorporates vaccines, WEF, dystopia etc).
Politics is the real toxicity and in this day and age it seems almost impossible to have a civil discussion about politics if there is disagreement.
It's not just on here it's everywhere in society and it drags people down.
I like to lurk and very occasionally post on Sunderlands SMG which to me is a great message board.
They have a separate forums for a few topics and admit it's widely acknowledged that the politics forum is a good idea to keep the bickering minimal.
I think Football and everything else is fine...just keep the politics contained in its own box.
For what it's worth....this place is still my internet home and has been since I discovered the internet.
Didn’t the Alternative Forum come about due to a bunch of bible bashing, nazi fascists derailing threads left right and centre?
I can’t recall it happening since so something must be going right.
Tonight is a perfect example of the decline of this messageboard
It's 930 pm and completely dead
Some of you can try and blame that on too much politics or music if you like but that's nonsense
And it'd be completely dead either way, as that's the way these boards are going.
People don't generally stumble across these places, so it's down to the few regulars and the odd bit of word of mouth.
It's about looking after what you've got, and the population is only getting older.
Allowing absolutely codswollop on the main board to please a few blokes stuck in their ancient ways isn't going to suddenly resurrect the place.
I tend to agree. Problem is that the same drum is being banged time after time. Mike said that it's still anything goes on here, just the political stuff and the conspiracy bollocks is shunted off, and for good reason, as people rarely listen to each other, way to wrapped up in their own prejudices and personal experiences, which kills any kind of decent dialogue, And it's the same people arguing amongst each other. Don't they get bored of it?
Anyway, i suppose it's up to us as posters to stimulate decent conversation, there's a whole world of subject matter we could post about, educate each other on, share experiences and funny or interesting situations or incidents we have enjoyed. This place should be about enjoyment and sharing information etc, and for the most part it is. Problems arise when it gets strangled by people who have an agenda, or who are frustrated, angry, sad etc it would be a much better forum if they just said as much.
