When I first started reading and posting on this forum 3 years ago, it was great, interesting, and I felt like it was often worthwhile to check in every other day.
A lot of interesting topics and hey, Frank himself used to post here from time to time (the fact that he has been posting less frequently only seems to support the point that I am about to make)
...this site has been slowly dominated by what I'd call a 'lower common denominator' that has turned this into a kind of erratic chatroom rather than a forum. Personally, I feel that a lot of interesting and contributive forum members have slowly dwindled away and this just sucks.
There are people here that post more than 20 times a day...it kinda sucks that this forum has, as a result fell victim to members who are playing out their over-blogging issues.
My point is, and I do not want anyone to get offended, that if the forum moderators limited allowable posts to 5 a day, it would force some to think about what they write and ideally, as a result, render the dialogue a little more "interesting".
I'd hate to have to wait until someone else creates a new forum that caters to more enlightening discussion about Frank Black / Pixies.
This is essentially a great website....but is in need of some adjustment if it wants to avoid turning into an adolescent chat room. |

I'm really not a fan of arbitrary limits, anyway. And are you suggesting that this should be a technical limit on the forum itself, or that everyone should actually count their posts? Either way, it would make posting to the forum too much of a chore for my tastes.

Three months ago, I was lucky enough to have a Falco peregrinus fly past me with a pigeon in its talons. It landed on the roof of a nearby car and enjoyed lunch.

Thank you all for your messages of kind heart. I'll stick around for a bit and see if it really is lame.

Is Falco the one who was setting a band up with members of Jarcrew?

Someone did it for me, I shall track down the camera. It would appear no one has gone to the trouble of showing off their beards so mine looks really poor. But seeing as I'm so nice.

I don't remember you not being nice, but I'm getting old and missed a good half year here, so... ? In any case, I'm not sure what the greeting there's about, but for my part, welcome back.

The forum is probably not as good as it was before, I think it is mainly due to the fact that a couple of people who were this forum's motor are missing. It used to work like that: about ten people whose posts were always interesting giving the direction and the rest of the forum was following. I really miss people like El Barto, apl4eris or ramona. A couple of them are still around, like floop or CoF whose posts are always funny or interesting.
I guess that people should try and make longer / more elaborate posts. I think that a 5 or less posts per day limit would be an excellent measure (although I know some of you disagree).
It would be good for the following reasons:
1) It would limit blanket posting
2) If people still post shit well at least they do it only 5 (or less) times a day and it creates a better distribution of posts among forum members.
3) If there is a "hot" issue, it would force people to create more elaborate answers and stay on topic.

That's great K, just make sure you hold on to that or post it in the Salon. We're not quite ready to go yet, but I sure am happy to see people are excited about the idea.
