I agree with some of that , but i dont think 20+ page threads are always good either. We get back to the quality vs quantity argument. If you have a 20 page thread with 300 people posting than thats good , but if its those same 4 arguers arguing back and forth with 30 posts each its dreadful.
The best threads are the ones that get replys from 50-60 different people , without enfuego and acebb arguing.
true
I also think some of the "old posters" don't give quality new posters a chance. They treat it like an invite only old boys club with no new members welcome. A new poster gets treated like dog shit and just says fuck it.
Yet another reason i believe posters should look inward at who to blame for lack of activity.
