Armster 21,860 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 Are we becoming closer to what the Official Forums were in terms of membership? And is this a good thing for forum wide activity and entertainment or do you wish it was the way it was before? Answer honestly please. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kezio 1,632 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 If you are making reference to post quality/quantity... All I can say is that summers are very long, especially when you aren't in the playoffs. Some years it gets pretty dead here, which makes me have to resort to less desirable ways to get my Leaf-fix. I'll take the increased activity, even if it means having to read some pretty stupid things every now and then. It's also fun to watch people get all riled up.

Nipzie 2,726 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 What do you mean? The question that heads the poll is up there. Are we like the official boards in quantity of posts, quality of posts, is that a good thing, is that a bad thing? I don't know how to answer as is.

Well I mean in terms of what the increased membership has brought so yeah base it on quality of posting because we are far away from what we started out as. Then give some feedback to the second question if you feel so inclined. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nipzie 2,726 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 It's closer to what the official boards were but far more free. I can still fucking swear, so fuck it. It's starting to become eye cancer at times though. Just some absolute bullshit being spewed. It's good for a laugh if you're in the mood for it, it's tiring if you just want to read about hockey. So, good and bad? 1 Kezio reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brocto 1,110 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 Are we becoming closer to what the Official Forums were? Ehh, I guess so, because there been more posts made/community got bigger? Or does it just seem that way, cause it's only a handful of people posting mostly? The official forums had retarded staff, there's some here too.. But I guess there's retarded staff everywhere? There's also a bunch of retarded members (i am one). Can you explain what you're trying to get at? Maybe answer the question yourself? Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Armster 21,860 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 Can you explain what you're trying to get at? Maybe answer the question yourself? Good question. I just like to keep a handle on what our members are looking for and how they feel. I don't want to lose the people who have helped make this place what it is so I am trying to hear actual feedback from you guys. Personally, I get emotionally invested in the arguments and I fucking love it. So I am great with it. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you lose people over an argument they can't handle, it's up to them/their choice, no? If they can't handle it, they shouldn't be here. The good part here is that you can just speak your mind and sometimes it might be dumb/harsh or whatever, but it's what happens when you get to express yourself emotionally on certain subjects. I think it's only good that there's a lot of freedom? That it's possible for everyone to shares their opinions (and some people share them over and over and over and over and over again).

Devin Weston 2,657 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 In terms of membership, yes. Is it a good thing? Well, I guess that really depends on the traits of the poster. Some can be intelligent and knowledgeable, and others can be as good ole' JR would say "goofy as a pet coon", or a combination of both. But overall, the quality of posts to this day are still much, much better than the posts on the official boards in it's last days. The official boards was such a gong show before it closed down. Well we better find an admin that knows what they are doing or else we might end up with midget porn or something on here. Better yet, make Logan the admin 1 HippyHappy reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TieClark 5,965 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 No. We had a few batches of new people but the official boards had random people post a couple times and never come back. We also don't moderate the posts really and ban people for whatever reason. I'm an asshole Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then give some feedback to the second question if you feel so inclined. Oh, so you were talking about the quality of the posts and not the quantity of the members themselves. Well, in that case my answer is no. The quality of posts on the official boards don't pale in comparison as to what we post here on LC. In fact, the quality of posts here on LC is much greater and more knowledgeable than what you would find on the official message boards. Discussions are also more free and open, and even with these relaxed rules, we all for the most part get along fine. Sure we may disagree with one's opinion from time to time, but at the end of the day we still get along with each other as a community. We're kind of like a big family. 1 Anger Management reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
