- Frankly, the temperament of too many posters still here at GC has gotten to be so sensitive and "snarky", for most newbies to post something and have to weigh heir words very carefully to avoid being flamed, simply not worthwhile.
- For established posters, most of the meaningful topics that we all have had something to say about, already said.
(side note): Personally, I would like GC to have a feature that automatically locks or deletes threads that have been without a post after a certain period of time (6 months to a year would be reasonable). I have seen too many newbies get flamed for not doing a search on a previously discussed topic, then if they revive an old thread that has been discussed, get flamed for reviving an old topic. A feature that deletes old threads automatically will mitigate this double standard.
I don't know if this forum (or any other GLO specific forum) will get the same momentum it did in it's glory years (2001 - 2005), but I'm sure it will get its share of "random spurts" from GC alumni stopping by to visit, and those "GC Poster Returns threads" will make this forum's glory years all worthwhile.
