I've been reading threads on this board for some time, and for the last year or year and a half, I've personally noticed that there just aren't as many interesting threads as once before. I find myself skimming through the topics and clicking on very few. And unfortunately, a few of the ones that appear to be promising don't pan out. Alot of the threads may have become rote and routine. If you look at some of the members, you will find that there are a few that have made multiple posts per day for long periods of time. I found 1 member who has made 19.3 posts/day for the last 550 days, another with over 8 posts/day for four and a half years and a few with over 10 posts/day for varying periods of time. Perhaps it's getting to the point where a substantial percentage of the posts are being made by a very small percentage of the members and you're starting to grow weary. Unfortunately, I think you have outgrown this board. There are other boards where the topics are more narrowly focused. Try one of those!

You should go live with speedy then, you and him can make up yalls own board

VitoCo1972 · December 29, 2008 1:06AM

How do you see # of posts per day? Are you just dividing total posts by when you joined or is there a stats page somewhere?

mickeymantle24 · December 29, 2008 1:07AM

Click on the little eyeglasses on your post

mickeymantle24 · December 29, 2008 1:07AM

<< How do you see # of posts per day? Are you just dividing total posts by when you joined or is there a stats page somewhere? >>

You have 5.72 per day

rube26105 · December 29, 2008 1:09AM

it wasnt me, i have 19.4 posts per day

You have a total of 20175 message(s) in your private message history.

i have more than 20,000 pms too , thought i would share

lawnmowerman · December 29, 2008 1:11AM

<<

Randy, you have pms?? I'm so confused

VitoCo1972 · December 29, 2008 1:11AM

Huh, you'd think having more than 5 posts/day would have lead me to click on everything in the screen at least once. That's cool.

mickeymantle24 · December 29, 2008 1:14AM

This board is the best!

lawnmowerman · December 29, 2008 1:15AM

Mike I accidently just rated you a 1

I was gonna hit you with a 10 but my fingers got ahead of me..sorry

Damn, I was going up.

I was going to rate up a 1 Matt, but my finger must of slipped and gave you a 10

proofer2 · December 29, 2008 1:32AM

I'm not complaining or trying to be critical here, just stating a few carefully worded observations. You know in all fairness, this is the "Community Message Board" so most topics should be fair game....

IchiroDeported · December 29, 2008 1:39AM

fair enough.

lawnmowerman · December 29, 2008 1:44AM

8 is enough

mickeymantle24 · December 29, 2008 1:57AM

The board is called the Community Message Board, not the Sports Cards Community Message Board. We can talk about whatever we want

nam812 · December 29, 2008 2:02AM

<< ............I find myself skimming through the topics and clicking on very few............. >>

And, at 0.03997 posts per day, apparently not adding much to any of them.

<<< I'm not complaining or trying to be critical here >>>

Come on now...of course you were trying to be critical and that's okay. I think the bottom line is the same that happened to me...I joined in 2004 and learned a ton of information from this forum...but now I have that basic information and don't need to read the threads regarding what I already know - that's only a natural process when you're a forum member for some time. However, the current events keep it fresh for me, like the sportstalk and for example new items being presented like the book autograph thread - fake or real it's still an interesting thread to me.

Now I'm confused. I've been rating people 1 for good 10 for bad............
you know - you are number 1

lawnmowerman · December 29, 2008 3:04AM

1 for bad 2 for good....yeah...

IchiroDeported · December 29, 2008 3:21AM

matt, your a 10 in my book, but only a 5 in the sack (or so I heard) I felt bad for you and gave you a 10. to give you 100 rankings and nearly a full 6

Stop talking about my sack weirdo

nightcrawler · December 29, 2008 3:35AM

I laugh when people dwell in the past, so fond of old memories that are already fading. Things change.

I'm thinking Speeder and proofer2 imagine that things were better mostly because they were more excited at the time, and have now become bored with the board.

There may be many worthy posts posted here each day, but if they were really worthy they wouldn't fall off the first page so quickly.

Yep, Capt. Crunch was definitely better when I was a kid.

IchiroDeported · December 29, 2008 3:40AM

hmm. i might have to disagree with you there Nightcrawler

I hated Cap'n Crunch as a kid and still do

I loved Frosted Flakes and Fruity Pebbles. Still do.

Many good posters don't post anymore or have been driven away, that is the unfortunate part.

lawnmowerman · December 29, 2008 3:44AM

Captian Crunch cereal always found a way to stick me in my gums. That stuff hurt first thing in the morming.

nightcrawler · December 29, 2008 3:46AM

I must be a Homophobe, I just can't bring myself to buy Fruity Pebbles.

<<

I know some of them got tired of the bickering. Some of them got bored. I have taken 2 or 3 month breaks about 3 times now.

Luckily for you guys, I always come back

Think big...think across the entire CU thread spectrum...the forum doesn't live and die on your single post.

You should all be ashamed of yourself for not contributing to rational subjects on sports cards.

Paul is putting a list together for a future David Letterman!
