W Where are the long term members of *this* board?

[Per]

Sorry, so the quality of my message is dependent on the amount of forum posts I can make? Man, things really HAVE changed.

Please feel free to comment on my main points and debate them if you wish. It's like you're not even listening to what I'm saying. This thread's topic is about why old posters don't post anymore. well I AM an old poster and I DON'T post much anymore! Thank you for pointing out the obvious! This is why I replied to this thread whilst lurking, and explained the reasons why I haven't been posting in the past while. If you don't want to discuss that, I'm not sure why you're reading this thread.

No, the quality of your message is not dependent on how often you post. Two of the best posters from Old Central are Spock and UW Saint, and they both disappear for months at a time, and I always eagerly await their return.

As for the two different types of posting you mention, I enjoy both. Unfortunately I can rather take part in the GDTs while the game is on, as that tends to be in the wee hours of the night here in Sweden, and I need my beauty sleep, but occassionally the Nucks play an early east coast game and I get to join in!

I know there are some because I've looked at the members list.

So far all I find posting are old Canucks Central denizens (or whatever the hell that poisonous old place was called).

Have all the Canucks Corner vets run away and hid?

We don't know where all posters from the old days here have gone. I do know some of them are mostly on twitter these days and debate the game in 140 or less Lots of posters have stopped posting on many boards for various reason. Social media is one of them and well, life another.

Lotus is right...message boards have become less relevant. Hence the reason I rarely post here. This board exists because there are people that enjoy it. My focus is on social media and blogging now.

Well then.... case solved, no conspiracy here.

Most of the poor bastards have apparently evolved/devolved into twittering tweeterers.

Wots say we suck it up and carry on without em eh wot ole chaps, stiff upper lips and all that rot eh WOT?

To me, it's quality over quantity. And we've had lots of quantity lately.

I lurked here in the past and didn't see a lot of "quality".

No offence.

Depends what you're looking for I guess. No offence. Seriously Pot, you don't like it here...you have a choice. You don't have to keep coming on here and belittling the place.

[Strangelove]

Eh wot ...

Indeed, one must carry on carrying on mustn't one.

Is it a coincidence that you have a special place in your heart for

.... the only two card-carrying Republicans ever known to grace CC boards?

I never said I didn't like it here.

The post you quoted was in reference to the post quality from previous seasons, not this one. I think it's been quite good this season.

Several long-time members have mentioned threads that had well thought out posts, and ensuing intelligent discussion. It might be helpful if one of those members linked a few examples to aid in the understanding of the differences in style/form.

I am a firm believer that message boards/blogs/twitter still subscribe to the age old human desire for a story - including plot, character, and conflict. In particular, the ideal thread has a protagonist (usually you), and an antagonist, and of course conflict, and perhaps resolution.

Without those elements, stories grow stale.

Really ?

[Southern_Canuck]

Really ?

First, am I talking to drunk Blob, or next morning apologetic Blob?

Yeah, really.

When you have a discussion with unanimous agreement, then there is an element missing.

Do you disagree, or are you indicating that my post is just obvious?

Southern...lemme guess...blob is being "one of those things"...the one that starts with an "a"..
