Is anyone else finding it hard to keep up with discussions on this site? I am a bit overwhelmed and losing interest due to the stream of continuous new posts. Many of them being pretty blah. How do you keep interest and relevant?
I wander through and only even click on the ones that catch my eye. The title has to draw me in. There's a lot here, so I would hope there's something for everyone. When all else fails, post something you'd like to talk about!
Not just you, the subject matter can be like riding a bike on flat ground. Resistance comes fast bc its not easy.
This is the first site that I have become a part of that is not intensively focused on discussions concerning religion, atheism or theology. I would like to see a discussion board so that those who wish to ask questions or have deep discussions could post there. I simply thumb through the how's the weather post and only join discussions that are interesting and where I might contribute. This site is much more fun than others as here I can throw down a few jokes.
You can make them a little more interesting, and just like any site operating on random people, it’s hit and miss. Sometimes it’s nice to challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone and do a little research, iv learned a lot by letting the conversations guide my google searches. You can find a lot of relevant information from seemingly “uninteresting” posts.
I don't mind it. I suspect many of the posts are made for level points. There will always be those gunning for the "points" in "the game," and that's okay by me.
The one or two great posts that come along on occasion are worth wading through a sea of blah.
Just comment on the ones YOU find worthy of responding to . You're not required to answer all, unless you're a "point junkie", and are doing it to rack up the numbers !
I scan through, and pass by those that are too generalized, trivial, or simply don't interest me.
ditto
I browse by subject. I’ve also started to search by tags.
I agree, posts are becoming redundant—same questions over and over. This is what happens when people don’t bother to search old posts, seeing what’s already there. This also happens when people just don’t care (or know) that there are archived posts.
"The universe is so big there must be aliens somewhere," for example. I'm wondering how long it'll be before there are more posts like that on this site than there are planets in the universe that could potentially support life.
