Taking My 'Life' In My Hands!
On the subject of Reviving old threads
It was a great idea to reminisce old threads, lovely to look back and see how the tone and vibe was so different and how lively the Forum was, now that everyone is saying it isn't what it was in the old days, it was nice to be reminded by reminiscing the good old days, but then what happened, we joined in and it all went up in smoke.
There was, alongside the fun, a bit of constructive criticism and my post is written in the same spirit.
Some of the threads suggested in the email from Admin were interesting to look back on and for newer members too I would think, but it seems posters are not permitted likewise to brush the dust off a few old threads that take us back, not wishing to go against the rules here and talk about deleted threads but I find that confusing when those old threads were all very PC. If it is against the rules to bring up very old threads I must have missed that one in over a decade of being here!
If I may put in my two cents worth, maybe it would be helpful to determine what made older threads and topics more interesting and why there was a livelier and bigger audience a few years ago. I don't come here often these days but like others responded to the email inviting us to reminisce, having seen EW grow from its earliest days pre-web when I used to read the magazine, I really have its interests at heart, it was a lifeline to me back then, but as others have suggested if the forum were to be more than just a place to post a 'where can i find' sort of topic and be allowed a bit of interactive chatter and harmless fun as well as the useful stuff, what would be wrong with that?
With all due respect, it might even generate a bit more traffic.
