Am I going have to call myself the Thread-Killer or something? I mean lately I post in TNA/Impact, ROH, and NHL threads and seems when I do only wants to post after.. I'm just passionate about somethings and voicing my opinions. Nobody said you have to reply to mine, those threads are for general discussion on those subjects so talk about anything for those. We don't have to turn everything into a message chat session all the time. Is it okay to keep posting new stuff when nobody else does? I know that was frowned upon when I was here years ago under different username.. Also I'm sorry if I bumped a bunch of threads when I came back. I have a problem sometimes I see something I want to talk about but don't look at the dates of last post. I know I did that to Emma is fired thread, various games and tv shows, and biggest was the Madden NFL 25 thread. I posted in Madden 25 because I still own and play it because its good and it is the last hooked up to NCAA14. Also I don't have any Maddens after that, didn't buy them.. Sorry for the rant. I've enjoyed my return here more than when I was here years ago so please enjoy the site everybody. Thank you! Keep making this place awesome..

I wouldn’t worry about it.
This place is nowhere near as fun as it used to be. My current account is new but I’ve been around for years. I like to visit and contribute but there’s a lot of whiny ass people on here and many of the rules seem to go unnoticed but it depends on who’s posting.
Been a double standard on this board for awhile now.

I just don't understand that threads that are popular stop after I post. Its a thread about the whole subject talk about anything you want to..

Threads fizzle out abruptly all day every day here. It isn't personal.

Can't speak for all of the stickied threads you mention but a quick perusal of the NHL thread should let you know that we have maybe three hockey fans on the entire site and they tend to post in short sporadic bursts. I'm not saying the thread is on life support but it is the plate of carrot sticks w/ ranch dip in the middle of a buffet of pizza and wings.

The thing is...is you are taking things personally and at the end of the day you're talking with people that A) you will never meet in person and B) its forum dedicated to toys. It seems like your expectations are a bit high.

^Eh I think it's just confusion. Sounds like the user was reamed out in the past for things he / she is doing now and no one is policing. Forum's dead and TOS is the same... admins just don't apply it as much or aren't online. Selective.
Also: if you reply multiple times to a sticky and no one replies in between, it's just because the forums are dead these days. And there are (on any given day) about 5-7 stickies in every single forum when you count the universal ones.
I'd say the only issue someone may bring up is multiple postings and you could always just edit your post to add anything you may want to if the thread is really dead.
(The hockey thread for example...entire sports board...I'm amazed anyone is posting anymore.)

This place really has slowed down. I wonder if a lot of people moved to that much bigger and busier wrestling forum.

I think a lot of people still lurk on here for news and opinions but this was "social media" before social media was a thing. Nowadays everyone has Facebook and other avenues to share the same information, goofiness, etc that they used to share on here. Not long ago if you posted a thread in the Lounge it would only be up for a couple days and then it would drift to the next page. Don't take anything personally, keep posting!

social media and content aggregate sites like reddit have largely made message boards a dated concept.

There was a time that threads would remain open for a lot worse than they've been closed for recently. Petridge farm remembers..

Yeah, that's a large part of why I don't enjoy the site as much anymore. It's more fun when the carnage ensues.

Literally looking at a warning bar because I told someone (in a story i was posting about here) I was the Easter Bunny after she said she was gender fluid (whatever the that even means)

I've also noticed similar regression on other forums I'm on where the conversation has been restricted. I understand that this is a site geared towards kids so that might also be the case for some of us as we age.

A lot of that is because of Ringside because these forums are a part of their brand now, so what happens here represents them. Prior to that this place was its own entity so dumb crap didn't really matter.

This site was a blast back in like 04-06 and as far as I know it was still owned/ran by RSC. Its the past few years which have been debbie downers.
