I was bored and trawling through the forums.

I've not seen any thread/topic posted that has had 175 replies from 175 different people (shows how shallow the pool really is)

And

Not every post stays on topic!

What have you noticed??

I don't think I want there to be 175 replies by 175 different people. I like that people respond to each other in threads, have conversations that might appear a slight tangent but they're still exchanging ideas, beliefs, information.

I've noticed that people reach far too oft for lazy insults if someone doesn't agree with their point of view. Both sides do it. No idea why. Let's stop the ad hominem shite, it's fucking dreary.

I nearly posted this a few nights ago. The 1st page was filled with single figure (or in the teens) replies on all the topics.

It’s rare a good topic gets to 175.

I’m not bothered if mine go off topic, as long as someone’s enjoying a good chat.

It's when they end up as a conversation between 1-4 people, I think spoils them

I've noticed that in 4 years I've started close to 100 threads and only one of those has ever reached 175 replies which was just before Christmas.

A handful have hit the 30 reply mark and all the rest fell below 20.

I've also noticed other forumites take the topic of some of my threads and start exactly the same conversation on the same day and they all hit 100-175 replies.

Strange how that works. Or is it?

Well you've got your occasionally witty sense of humour to fall back on, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Unfortunately I've waffled through every part of my life and postgrad in a particular subject really encouraged me to carry on.

There’s a weird dynamic on fabs between men and women

Loads of men complaining they can’t get a meet

Loads of women and couples complain about guys talking the talk then disappearing when it comes time to meet

How are all these “talk the talk” types getting so many meets?

You obviously don't follow the 'Politics' section, then.

On there, threads get taken over by certain characters who will never agree not to disagree!

Usually they keep again and again requoting huge chunks verbatim, which also makes a mockery of the concept of the thread getting too long on the grounds of reaching 175. They have usually got physically 'too long' well before getting anywhere near 175.

In my time wondering these forums a few things I have noticed over the years is the following...

for the most part given the nature off this site it has more or less its part in fulfilling or appealing to that category off topics and conversations..

which for the most part will be light hearted or one could say happy natured/positive or appealing to people who have similar interests which most people see and want to go for in order to reach out and possibly connect/meet up with others down the line...

each section has it's own various subjects or topics to discuss from happy go lucky to down right serious/deep subjects, fortunately there are more laid back threads..

Now if you wonder around enough and take a look a bit deeper behind the veil it will sooner or later reveal a more sinister or twisted element which lies around and shows itself every so often depending on the topic off conversation and who engages in it..

true one can say that these forums can be heavily moderated compared to other sites but when things go off they go off royally...

like anywhere else really it has its darker underbelly moments which appear when chaos arises in certain subjects or things take a turn for the worst and all hells breaks loose like an approaching natural disaster..

kind off ironic at times though seeing some people who pass themselves off as civilised or liberated people turn feral and end up attacking each other like rabid animals at each others throats sometimes even on occasion over the most trivial things not even over something serious....it's only then their true nature is revealed.

But that's just life sometimes got to take the good with the bad and all guess it's just human nature/behaviour...

This absolutely, along with derailing other people's threads with fly comments and general piss taking. Usually aimed at newbies. When clique behaviours gets called out they are the first to bleat about how there is no clique....Then everyone else are fun sponges and they are the hard done by party
