Interesting.... I like forums and there are so many new people with great topics, jokes, stories etc. I don't understand about restore forums to the once lively state. I don't want to put anyone down by making them feel they are inadequate here. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you or something but that's the way it's coming across.

You love them now dang you need to go through some old topics then because you would have been estactic with the forums at that time. The were unrestricted and everyone wasnt aftaid to put their opinions down. It gave us more to think about.

@JustMeAndYou77: I hope you don't feel that I am putting other users down because that is not my intention at all.

@Briteeyes: Well, if I get attacked then so be it, that is my personal point of view and I will express it even after being attacked. If these forums can be salvaged and restored any than they need to be worked on. This is not for the new users to feel like they don't have any worth here either... This is for us as a community to strengthen the conversation on here... I mean really... Some threads I just glance and exit! I want to want to put my two cents in! I miss being a forum addict!

Girl, you guys are the older version of dating.mobi. You know what it took to get it here. And, instead of staying on course, many of you helped turn it into what it is by forgetting the purpose of it and instead focused on who the audience is suppose to be or what they are suppose to say. So, get working and produce some of the quality threads that you are use to seeing here and made forums richer in discussions! Im sure you guys can get it rolling in your direction.

The forums have there dead time just like everything else in life, it goes in phases. When they first started we had every question, topic under the moon to discuss, now they have been discussed till we are blue in the face. We have new members to entertain. Yes the forums get on my nerves at times, cuz its not what i desire to be speaking of, but honestly on good days they are better now then they were say 3 months ago and i think they are dead most of the time now, but u just gotta see it thru...add to and help build. Teach these newbies how us old timers did it, but we learned a long time ago we gotta be careful on these forums cuz we get pm's outta this world if anything is said inappropriately

And actually some of the old topics should be brought up whether us old dinos have run them till blue in the face. There are plenty of new people who have ideas and opinions to the subjects we have discussed.

Yes, I tried responding to many of them. But there were the old ones who felt that they built, co owned and ran dating.mobi and can attack, point fingers and so on. You have to share the blame for whatever it has become in order to get things spiced up again.

Yes the dunce thing is a lil scary these days, u cant post like we used to. Some things are justifiable but honestly some things arent. Im not Andres so i can make that call. And yes, ive slacked off forums cuz everything is a joke or a poem a
or an introduction...which are ALL great....but what kind of DISCUSSION can u have on that...u can say nice poem, lol to jokes, and welcome to the forums...but then what? No one asks questions anymore, and when they do they rarely get a TRUE answer

I agree, more people should try to get involved in some more serious discussions. I've even slacked off posting lately because the forums seem to me to have gotten stale and boring.

Another thing I have noticed is that too often the very first or second response to a thread is negative. Mebbe thats putting ppl off?

But if we ignore the negitive and stay positive about someones answer then things should be fine.
