i dont come here much anymore and here is why

I discovered a site called reddit. I'm never going to abandon this site, but I come here for different reasons now. its only a few people that've been here for years why i don't leave. the content on this site has really been lacking in content lately.

I really am still a reader of the new posts and whatnot, but i spend a very small fraction of the time i used to here.

anyone else feel this way?

 

I'm not tired of it yet, but it wouldn't be a surprise if eventually I did burn out since that is my patterns with most talk forums.

 

I can relate to death, but I still come on here the most. I guess I don't really feel like getting into another forum.

 

It has for a while. These forums were good back in 2004.

 

I disagree that it goes in a downward spiral. Good content comes and goes. Otherwise we would have been long gone now I guess (well, at least I would!)

 

Forums are always better in the olden days. :cuss: Does it occur to people that it is really about their mindset rather than the forum.

 

I very seldom visit forums but this one got my interest while I have been home bound and going through several surgeries the past 6 months but I bet once I heal I will be lingering more in the real world than I will linger here. I have met some interesting people here but there are some people here who obsess to much about certain subjects who really need to go out and get some sunlight.

 

No. I may or may not agree with the lacking of content, but ever since I got a smart phone I've been posting more than ever. I like reddit, but I enjoy learning the personalities here.

 

Haha, I always have reddit on one tab and HF on the other. I like reading comments and threads on reddit, but I prefer contributing here. I still don't quite understand the upvotes/downvotes thing and it kind of annoys me. If I'm looking for people to actually respond to me, I post here. If I'm just bored and spouting off, I post there. lol

 

I've been coming here since I was 20. A lot has changed in my life, but this has remained one of the few places I can escape to for peace of mind.

I get bored and leave for months or years at a time. Usernames come and go...

It don't matter. A lot of us has spent so much time bitching, laughing, fighting, and occasionally actually discussing things that we all have left a footprint on this site in some way. you can check out, but you can never leave Death.

 

Death-I've been missing your videos.

 

Yeah, I come and go quite frequently. It's not crazy to be absent for a year, but for some reason, I always come back.

It's slow, and kind of lacking in quality these days....

Yet here I am...

 

you weren't here back when just the random thoughts forum, for example, would have 3 pages of new threads every day, compared to about 3 new threads a day now.



i'm too lazy to find and learn a new forum. i'm here pretty much constantly now because i'm only working part time, but in a month or so when i'm back to full time i won't have a lot of time for foruming anywhere anyway.

 

I took a look at reddit and I wasn't blown away.

it has open source features, but otherwise seems like just another internet company that might make some asshole a billionaire

hipforums seems less likely to sell my personal information than other sites. I like that I feel like I know most of the people who post here regularly

there's also plenty to complain about. it would be nice to have more and more interesting threads, posted on more regularly. I don't like some of the moderation decisions that get made.

I don't get the feeling though that I would like reddit better though

 

3 pages of luckystripe talking to herself

oh yeah those were great days

 

that was some of it. but then you could go on those threads and make fun of her.

you know there was more legitimate traffic too though.

 

I have also checked reddit out, and was actually the opposite of blown away. For the very most part I feel quite similar to e7m8.

I very much prefer hf. Those times I haven't posted here have never been because I found someplace I like better, and just for the hell of it I have looked/shopped around.

I like the varying ages here, the widely varying opinions and the many different topics that always have knowledgeable people posting (of course along with the typical jackasses). Even jackasses have their place. :2thumbsup:

 

lol... Trish. Poor Trish.

I remember her always wanting to call me while drunk.

 

No...it really was better back in the 2005-2009 period (before that, too, I'm sure, I didn't join until 2005). But that was likely just due to the higher traffic, not necessarily the people.

 

Whatever she is doing now, I hope she is happy and healthy.
