Lamest Forum Ever

A blast from the past. You gotta love these old klunkers.

It's even older now, but still a fun read.

The shame of it all is, except from a few of us old timers who keep posting here, he was right back in 2006 and it isn't much different here in 2012.

Over at Audio Karma, a 10 Hour span will bring close to 15 pages of new posts, while here a 10 Day span can't generate a full page of new posts.

So what is the main reason the other forums have thousands of people posting and we have 10?

I suspect there's a few things that go into that: horrendous lack of continuity on the site, certain topics being actively discouraged, minimal, incrementalist improvement in technology/equipment, an esoteric music forum from which very little new discussion is derived...and, of course, the fact that controversy creates clicks...

Remember this classic: Are There any audiophiles on this forum ? ?

It should also be noted that the actual membership count here is probably deceiving. I suspect a major percentage of new members are merely bots.

A good read. Too bad that one is closed. I can't bump it.

Is there a forum anyone can lead me to where I can insult the members, the forum itself, and the owner of the forum all in the same sentence?
