In which we Discuss the Quality of OT

You can always find new people...
Most have a low opinion of the OT forums and don't bother with us. Some are also indimidated and don't want to hop into a big old trollfest.
 
One of the things that I think is bad for OT is how infrequently people post. Bear with me.

There are usually somewhere between 50-100 people viewing it, yet the post rate is nowehre near what one would expect for that number. I wonder maybe if its because there are cliques, etc...
 
Yes you do. You are interesting and participate regularly in a civil manner. :)

I take it you haven't looked too closely at my secret file in the mod hideout... :blush:

That said, yes I participate a lot. And I don't stir up really large amounts of trouble. But I wouldn't say that too many people find what I say interesting. Nor am I such a good writer that it encourages people to come out of the woodwork to participate. Nor do I know people from elsewhere that would like to come here and participate. (or, in fact the one that would, you couldn't pay me enough to give him the link :mischief: )

However, I have not connected well with people here. And at this late date, I don't anticipate that changing. So while some people could maybe liven the place up, I'm not one who can help with that.
 
I think I stir up a lot of manure.

Not everyone expels whatever vomit comes to their mind.

Also, the quality of OT is quite consistent. Consistently going downhill. :3
 
I see no problems with OT at the moment other than the generally consistent cycle of interesting and uninteresting threads, with quality (or level of interest; it's hard to separate the two) going up and back down (or down and back up) throughout the week.

Well if everyone was busy posting, there'd be no-one to read it all.

I'm frequently expelling any and all vomit in my mind. This is my only escape from the drudgery of work and family.

You're posting on a forum based on a notoriously addictive video game. How can you say this? Personally, I think OT reached its golden age in the ESB/Mowque era. It's still good now, even though a certain poster has made it a lot weirder.

Because the notoriously addictive video game gets repetitive after a certain amount of time. I haven't been here long enough for the forum to do that yet. ;)

Plus there are a lot of people who make the OT weird :lol:

True, but you're on a forum filled with people who have developed ways to breath new life into the game for when it gets stale

There are a lots, but I'm thinking of a certain Czech-Canadian devoutly Orthodox Neonazi Pan-Slavicist teenager who attends a Catholic school that makes frequent flagrant violations of canon law and used to be homeless. Does that narrow it down at all?

Yeah, it suceked pretty bad for awhile then there was a brief period where it looked like it was gaining some originality & life again & now it kind of sucks again. Fortunately, while we've lost some quality posters, a few still remain.

I continue to hang out here out of momentum mostly.
 
ciV announced.. Loads of fresh faces soon :)

Looking through some old threads made me sad.. we have lost a lot of great posters from the 05-07 era.
 
I think OT is pretty decent lately. I'm not sure what people mean by cliques. If "cliques" is code for "fiftychat", let me just assure you guys that I can count on one hand the number of times we've ever done anything 'as a group' in the last 5 years or however long it is we've been around.
