Why are you so much worried about the online member counting getting stagnantFirst, why did I create "many" "crap kiddish" threads?
I created threads because the engagement has been progressively drying up on this forum. The online member count maxes out at 90-95 most days and people barely participate outside the classifieds. It's the same 5-10 guys posting every single day.
I think it's a technological forum first and general discussions forum later. If you are so much concerned about drying threads, you should create some technical threads, reviews, news etc.
Meaningful engagements, seriously? Last night dreams, come tomorrow the toothbrushes you use, the type of glass you drink water, and so on. Great engagements I can see in the pipeline.I have been creating threads with hopes to create meaningful engagement; as a form of giving back to the community, to the creator of this platform @renegade even though he doesn't even know me.
The best place imo for such topics is reddit or quora.
Such topics will only lead to falling of this forum as you are very much concerned on the engagements and active discussions.
Then why didn't you highlighted that or hose "somebody" here, you felt that highlighting me was easy right?Grown up adults, obviously much older than me in age, gave me a practical 101 on bullying. There are many politics based threads on this forum. The Israel thread keeps on giving and I am sure there are many many threads of that nature that nobody had any objections with. But somehow members jumped onto this "we don't want that here" bandwagon when I created a thread recently. A little before that, somebody had flexed his age to me without me doing him any harm. I was still fine with all that.
The integrity of the forum is technology discussions and been a year or so the general section is flooded with what not topics.But very recently, I had the misfortune of giving explanations for a joke of all things with an "unaddressed" member taking it personally. It's absurd when somebody asks you for explanations for a completely harmless joke and the response is bound to be equally absurd. I posted cartoons in response because the question was absurd as hell .So it was and this is where this 2008 member comes into play as the "fourth person".
I was asked my age by this "unaddressed" "fourth person" for posting an absurd answer to an absurd question. But this didn't stop there.
When I created another thread today that could potentially be hilarious, he went on to post this:
I am sorry for doing that you know, for disturbing all the members here with my crap threads. Lesson learned and I will not create another thread here ever again.
I can and so many others who might have observed the types of threads you are creating regularly like last night dreams and all.
Tomorrow you will start something like showoff toothbrushes you use, the type of glass you drink water, and so on. And so, I said kiddish nonsensical threads.
Also, just because someone joined in 2008 or 1943 does not by any means shall not get irritated by daily crap threads.
And I also felt that this is the first forum you joined in your life and hence asked for your age as in excitement some newbies tend to do a lot of chitchat and threads and that's understood.
But as others said you can ignore me or block me your wish.
You may also proceed creating polls for knowing your fanbase, get likes and comments and turn the forum into an instagram or a tiktok, your wish.
Last word again "integrity of the forum" rather than taking personally like how you have targeted me here.
Mods should also think on this and limiting on number of general threads one can create within a specific period especially in the root section not the sub-sections.
Again, you are highlighting only my comments taking it personally.My experience with this forum has been overwhelmingly positive. I am aware that 80%+ of the members here, including you, are older than me. This kind of made me assume that this place would be devoid of trolls. Thus comes the shock. Age is definitely not a benchmark for mental maturity and people show their cheapness time and again.
I mean the same member didn't have any issues with participating thrice on my other "crap" thread:

Anyways.
