Popular Post Get Marwood & I Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2018 Would anyone like me to do one of those big detailed critique posts like I used to do? You know, the ones where I post what everyone else is thinking and then get hammered for being unkind by people who have been here longer than me? I have lots of thoughts on why the traffic is low, and lots of proactive suggestions for improvements. But seriously, does anybody care to hear them? snitzer, bounty_coder, comicquant and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the old threads I remember were two people arguing back and forth with no chance either one would move. That, or Kav derailing a thread, looking for attention. The volume's down, but so is the noise. Buzzetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The volume's down, but so is the noise. You won't hear any arguments from me. I love comics from all eras. I just happen to mainly sell moderns. Based on my experience, the sales forum just isn't as active as it used to be. I've also noticed a lot of old-timers who never really come around much anymore. I was one of the loudest voices against the updated boards when they first dropped. Even though I've adjusted, I can definitely understand why the change ran people off.

newshane Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Also, the Golden-Bronze forum has incredible (mind-blowing) stuff for sale on a weekly basis. You're lucky if you can even find a key in the Copper-Modern forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is the discussions are down because very few people on the boards are bothering to read new books (myself included). With nothing new to discuss what do we really have to talk about? Hot books, killer finds at garage sales, big auctions of golden age books. A ton of people are now sellers compared to 10 years ago so they are just busy selling books and don't have the time to talk about the best Byrne issue of FF 4 or who would win between Lex Luther and Dr Doom. I like the format of the new boards and the positives out way the negatives by a big margin. Who use to talk a lot and is missing? Roy use to get into a steady stream of long winded arguments and that is gone for sure. RMA is also basically silent. Kav is gone. Cal is gone.

Mr.Mcknowitall Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It takes a Kav to raise a comic village. It takes a Cal to talk to another Cal. It takes a Kal to raise a Superman. There. I have done my duty and contributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Old Fashion PB and J Posted February 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2018 The truth is that this has become nothing more than a business venture for more than 50% of the members and if they aren't making money off you, than what good are you? It has been evident by the trends in the FS forums for the past 7 years. So many of the "members" are just leeches. And then there are members like me who just like to chat with fellow collectors, whack the hornets nest, and have actual conversations. Oh and make jokes about @lizards2 and @porcupine48 speedcake, steveinthecity, MGsimba77 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't around in the old days, but your critique could offer up some ideas for us newer guys/girls to help liven it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it's because the hobby has gotten so expensive that no one can afford it without being a part-time dealer?
