Some posters never made the cross over to this board... Others have either left afterwards.... or were banned.  Nothing is really being discussed... aside from that crazy planet, Nibiru, that just keeps messing with us. Threads dead since last week are still on the first page. Rivalries have gotten boring and stale. Friendships have grown cold and distant. Time is.... JESUS F****IN' CHRIST!! THIS POST IS BLEAK!..... Wait.... Is that considered "blasphemy"? Oh yeah... Shit's also gotten very repetitive.  |

Yeah, I was worried about this when the spinoff boards started. If we can't attract new users somehow, everything is going to stagnate and eventually die off more or less. It gets tiring talking about the same things to the same people over and over. People just lose interest. And then there will just be no activity.

Grow a backbone and tell the ones talking about crazy planet Nibiru to shut up. That's what I did a couple of days ago. It works.

This board in particular doesn't offer too much in regards to anything that isn't a flame war or worse. Save a few posters nobody discusses casual things like movies and music and tv shows and sports. I've been as active as possible on the film general board for quite some time. I honestly prefer conversations about the greatest heist films over debates on Nibirus relevance at this point in my online career.

The Religion Board kinda sucked on imdb. There were a lot of goobers there.
It's always been the same arguments or the same pretending that the argument is new and fresh.
On the other hand, my eating shrimp as a hypocritical action never gets old....
The Politics Board benefits from the news which is why their first page rarely goes past a few hours plus the biases are based on something better rooted in reality.

I suppose that I'm as much to blame for that as everyone else who's to blame for that....  |

Start a thread on some religious topic then.
I try to respond to most religious topics, but I suspect I am not edgy enough
Maybe I should reinvent myself?

I am kind of serious though, I do respond to the 'deeper' topics but frequently get ignored which I have to assume is because my stance tends to be more level headed, so all I end up doing it feeding the trolls. Also you are the third person I feel like I hardly know that has commented on enjoying my contribution to the board, it's rather flattering. |

I've had a few good conversations with you, gadreel, and that's what I like - actual conversation an exchange of thoughts. You are one of the positive posters to the board. You are Christian, I am Atheist, but we still find common ground and can talk without hurling insults like so many others do. We do need more posters like you, people that can coexist and promote understanding instead of divisiveness. |

I think things on the imdb board escalated so much partly because of the moderators there "poking the trolls" so to speak, with threads and posters deleted arbitrarily and in certain cases unfairly, especially when discussions got too heated. I guess people were also abusing the report post thing to get back at each other. I personally enjoyed that dynamic even though it might have seemed hostile to someone new and I felt that the Indian cinema subforum here was much more mellowed than the ICB on imdb mainly because of lack of moderator interference.
Anyway, I guess I now have one more forum that I can post in and life goes on as usual.
