dislike the new forums. :(

Jeff, love what you do with this site but you've now seen I've posted a few complaints about my posts getting moved. Once something is moved from off topic, it's time for crickets. A few readers say they look at recent topics, but it's like clockwork. Good responses in OT, but once a post gets moved to pets, or sports, or health forum, etc, the show is over.

I'm not trying to attack, but why keep pushing the forums if the posts go there to collect dust? The answer seems to be to create even MORE forums. I guess it's not my sandbox, but I don't like it.

We monitor activity in each forum on a daily basis. User's perceptions about the popularity of forums is often wrongly influenced by their own preconceptions. We frequently hear from users about what they consider the lack of traffic in some of our post popular forums. Nevertheless, if we realize that a new forum is not working, we will correct the situation. However, a certain amount of time is required to truly give a forum a chance. In the meantime, we appreciate your cooperation.

By the way, the crickets just pushed your thread into its fourth page. Not much dust on that thread.
