Is it possible for you to bring back watercooler board because in last few weeks some of the posters of watercooler board who were not here in the past have returned. Posters like sunshine, wickedkittiesmom and Divtal may be happy to post on watercooler board. I understand and appreciate your intent behind combining 3 chat boards but the people of watercooler board are more mature and may not like soapbox a lot (which is more for younger people). I think if you give it a try then it could become a more active board this time. Those people who were active on watercooler board will appreciate you for giving them another chance to interact. May be just give a try and take out the board if it doesn't get active in a month’s time? Thanks.

Why don't they just all post on general discussion?

Why don't they just all post on general discussion? They can but it is not usually so straight forward. It's about environment and familiarity. The watercooler board was abode of peace. Compare to that the soapbox was abode of fights/trolling/doxing/crying/swearing and thus different people chose different boards. Watercooler members on old IMDB were some of nicest people I have ever seen on online message boards. They used to discuss general things and the atmosphere of the board was friendly. I personally did not post but I knew most of them as they also posted on F&D board where I also posted. The General Discussion board is pretty good on this site but the kind of topics discussed on that board is quite different to what was discussed on the Watercooler. |

Why don't they just all post on general discussion? General Discussion is filled with posts with a title and the only message in the OP is "?" . Nothing to grab hold of and actually "discuss" The threads are often of a personal nature which serve only to give nasties something to throw back at the poster careless enough to reply.. Often they are of a negative nature "things you hate", "things that annoy you" , "do you still hate you parents" "worst this and that " …. like more negativity is needed. 
One of the most prolific and annoying posters on DG posts "call-out" threads" berating other posters for asking questions when the majority of their threads are themselves pretty pointless questions. |

They're welcome to post "the kind of topics discussed on that board" on the General Discussion board. I'd welcome more traffic there as I also tend to avoid The Soapbox. I don't think the boards are active enough overall to warrant what would be a third "general" board. |
