Apart from all other valid points already discussed on this thread, my two cents:



Quality Posts & People

Disinterest (of topics)

Many Noobies

Regulars MIA



I think we all should take a break from this and come back 10 days later (not that I have been a reg lately either). Sometimes redundancy is inevitable, is drastic action called for?

I agree with Blah on most of the points he made out; but yet, we all should realise that the Ages/IQ Levels/Experiences/Evolutionary levels/Backgrounds/Awareness Levels are not the same and many of us not aware as to what is stated/posted already; and like in a Class Room where the teacher of say 10th Class Mathematics, can rightly to a great extent, assume that the students being taught/lectured to have already learnt or know certain aspects of mathematics upto certain level.Whereas, in discussion boards, we come across people and their posts, without knowing about their back grounds/levels of IQs etc.Hence to make discussion Boards meaningful and useful,if atleast the E Mail Ids of participants are known, one to one E Mail dialogues can be entered into and if warranted Posts can be made by two or more individuals together, if they are rather confident that their contributions will be thought provoking and will evoke interest among many other participants of DB on particular topic..All said and done non-serious participants should not disturb/make fun of serious participants and like wise, the serious participants should not expect non-serious participants to butt in uninvited HA Ha nor they should expect that all the participants will be serious and could provide meaningful inputs

Just one reason: Daisy

The quality of discourse in any forum is a pretty good indicator of the IQ of the participants. Now that I have successfully ruffled a few feathers, let me expatiate on what I think is flawed with these boards and how to remedy them

1. It has already been discussed syndrome. Well 2000 years back it was already discussed and decided how human beings evolved and 200 years back it was discussed and decided what gravity is all about. When Darwin and Einstein pondered their respective subjects, no one said, it was already discussed. Maybe the newbies have something to say that the morons masquerading as Gods and Lords could not divine. I do not understand the compulsion on the part of the fogeys to silence the newbies with "it has already been discussed so stop this thread". It is OK to point a newbie to the existing thread, but if other newbies wanna post let them. If there are no takers, the thread will die a silent death. No one owns the boards, so, if you do not have something to add, do not discourage others from posting meaningful stuff.

2. Post count is a bitch. Ever since we started the concept of post count and started handing out titles to the idiots with high post counts, the quality has really gone down the drain. Unfortunately, there is no programmatic way to figure out the drivel that passes for posts on these boards. People post for the sake of posting. "I agree", "well said" kind of stuff. Of course there are the smarty pants who just post crap irrelevant to the discussion. Also, people feel compelled to let the world know about their tete-a-tete with another board member and abuse the discussion forums for carrying on one-to-one conversations reducing them to chat forums. This should be discouraged.

3. The absolute inanity of the several hundreds of the boards never ceases to amaze me. This probably is the IQ level of this group, but something tells me it may not be the case. There could be discussions on the current happenings, relevant social issues, requests for recommendations, action groups for issues etc. etc. But instead we have all those mind numbingly stupid boards. All the Gods/Lords should take an oath to only start posting meaningful stuff that could elevate the quality of the boards. Otherwise, these boards will be relegated to the dustbins of the history of web communities.

I have put on my flame suit and will ignore all cheap shots. If you have the mental maturity to indulge in an meaningful debate, I am here.
