"Do you mean on the forums or on the site in general? "

I actually couldn't disagree more. I think the forums are more diverse than ever. Lots of different posters covering lots of different topics I genuinely believe there is something for everyone. |

I agree. I don't see the forums dying at all. But the OP is struggling - it's all about the individual experience. Perhaps time to take a break? |

This is it. When the site becomes more work than it's worth, and drags your spirits down, definitely time to step back and focus your energy on more positive things |

I think sometimes it’s best to take a break and come back refreshed when you feel that way. Or potentially change your approach to it?
I don’t really know but wish you the best  |

It cripples your spirit, but it's as addictive as fuck.
Do what you think is best for you.
Best advice I can give you is look at getting to some of the organised socials, you may not get a shag, but you will meet a lot of other people |

Exactly this. Sorry you're having a hard time, OP, but only you can decide if this site's making your life worse or better. Maybe a break, or think about what you're using the site for/how you're using it (ie what you like about it or not etc). Hopefully you'll feel better soon! |

Staying off-topic for just a moment, I don't totally disagree with this: the fora is well and truly alive but I'll question the diversity and the ubiquitous banality. I'll speak from my personal perspective, so therefore excuse the self-depraction and sour grapes....
My despondency is down to the following experiences: I'll create a thread, a thread that is characteristically unique which gives some variety to the fora. Within 15 minutes it's already languishing on page 3 of the lounge.
And this isn't because it's not popular or because of the lack of responses, it's more about those usual suspects that are flooding and saturating the fora with regurgitated threads. Sometimes I've done a 'green arrow' on some of the posters and they've 'contributed' approximately 25 threads in the last two hours!
What this means is that I'm left feeling disenfranchised and wondering if it's really worth bothering.
But I don't give up. I'm still posting, persevering and enjoying the fab journey.
One final point to note: the fab forum rules contains the following: "Deliberate or malicious disruption of the forum
If you deliberately or maliciously try to interrupt everyone else's enjoyment of the forums, for example by trying to fill up the forum with your own content (just one example), it's not fair and we'll take action."
It's not enforced, in my opinion. |

It would be such a simple thing to enforce a limit on threads created in 24 hours. But Fab seem uninterested. |
