Forum conduct

Does anybody else feel that the forum has become a lot harder to use/enjoy?

I think the mods are doing a great job, but there is a real issue with conflict between individual posters and long running feuds. It’s dragging out across multiple threads and creating a lot of noise. Its toxic, frankly.

Maybe this is just the way that forums end up, no matter what you do, but I’m pretty much at the point where I’m going to stop posting and reading. The enjoyment just isn’t there. Big loss, I know!

Anybody have any thoughts about how we can fix it?

I love all you kunts equally. 

The amount of times some posters have responded to someone else's opinion with "stupid comment", "this forum is getting ridicules" "these people think they're so called experts" or some other variation is killing this place.

It very much depends what you use it for. The travel subsection is generally kept on topic and is mostly useful. The whatever section is entertaining if nothing else. This section is what it is, and is mostly okay with some issues. It's the rest of the world section that has the some spoofers posting the same nonsense being responded to by the same gobshi*es in a never-ending loop of idiocy.

They're very much ranked 1, 2, 3, 4. I don't use the LOI section that much but it doesn't seem as bad (with one entertaining nutter).
