With the large portion of toxic members on here, it's hardly surprising, is it? Who would feel incentivised to post if they're just going to be met with disdain and/or sarcasm for expressing an opinion which doesn't correspond with certain people? If this were a forum with more civilised and respectful members, I for one would post and take part in discussions more often. But as it is, I just tend to express my opinion once and move on, because I know there will be at least one person (usually several) to respond with as much disrespect and vitriol as possible for daring to not share their exact opinion. And of course, those people are not worth wasting a reply on. If members on this forum were tolerant of other people's opinions, it would make for a far better experience, which would of course lead to being more active.

Every time I see someone trying to make a push to increase the number of new threads here, they're met with a barrage of regulars admonishing them for creating new threads. Elsewhere, I've seen actual complaints regarding the notion that members should have to meet certain thresholds before being allowed to make new threads. Who would want to try and boost the activity here if that's the sort of response they're likely to get? Case in point...a semi regular here has, since this thread, tried to open the floor to discussion on a handful of topics, and is already being met with thinly veiled contempt for exactly no good reason.

i have been a part of this forum for MANY years even before this username(and its bee. 10 years alone under this name) and there was a time where there was at least a full page of posts. i van check in every few days or so now and only see a few. i assume you can chalk that up to there being so many other outlets like social media.

every 5 years that has gone by or so there has been a drastic reduction in activity. this shouldn't come as a surprise as wrestling is simply not nearly as popular as a commodity as it was when this site started.
i don't think any 'save our school' attempts by forum advocates would result in anything. people are interested or they aren't - and in this case they aren't. we're a dying breed.

The Raw threads haven't been like they used to be.

One thing I’ll say, I think sadly there is an overall thought that the product is terrible. It’s really only Raw right? I think most weeks Smackdown is very good. NXT is usually great, and if you have time 205 and UK are both usually very good wrestling shows. It’s a shame Raw is usually such a chore to sit through and honestly brings the whole company down.

It’s certainly been the case for at least the last twelve years, and likely way further back than that.

Any time something even half interesting comes up, the "no fun crew" asks for it to be locked. Or a mod locks it for no reason. Combine that with how ban happy this place has been historically and you get what you have now. Compare the site's activity to 5 years ago. At this rate the site could be dead 5 years from now. Oh and never mind the people who can't log in and have asked for help in the Support Center. There is no help. And it's never coming. Nobody cares. This a million times over. Wouldn't be so bad if the admins weren't mascarading around as other members and baiting people. Also, it wouldn't be so bad if these admins weren't clearly playing favorites. Oh and god forbid you have a different viewpoint than the ones who run this site. That's the death knell for most. I get that since so and so sold this site to ringside, there has to be certain guidelines. But you can't just pick and choose what it is you want to enforce when its convenient for you. This place used to be fun. Then it turned bearable. Now its just here for the sake of being here.

I honestly only come here out of habit. I have a 99% warning bar and I’d be willing to bet people slide daily With much worse than my comments.
I once got a warning for saying “shooting down the walls of heartache. Bang bang I am the warrior” in an ultimate warrior thread

Hilarious seeing all of these members talking about how things “used to be”... with sign up dates of 2-3 years.

The show sucks. Threads and posts are over-moderated due to RSC requirements. Message boards are a dying technology. A large portion of the community that is left is toxic or only here out of habit. In short, there aren't many reasons for people to come here and post anymore.
However I made several lifelong friends from my time on WF, so I will always appreciate that.

Forums have become a thing of the past. People should be glad this forum is still ticking because so many forums are dead as a rock these days

There's nowt to talk about. But, I agree, I check here maybe ten times a day and there was a time when every time there'd be a new topic of conversation to post in or argument to have. 2011 in particular was a great year on here.
I don't know what's happened, honestly.

Hilarious seeing as you missed the information about people getting banned for pointless reasons and/or not getting help with log in information and losing access to a perfectly fine account. There’s an Admin who has another account who baits and trolls. Quit trying to act cool because we all know you’re not.

I actually had another name on here for years, but there was a previous admin who was harassing me and private messaging me and deleting my posts for no reason. I reported him and nothing happened so there’s one for ya.
