We need quantity and quality although I prefer quantity.
That is what is wrong with the FF. Forums aren't meant to be watched for hours at a time, with the watchers wondering why no one is posting. That is a thought process more fit for a chatroom, or maybe a telephone conversation.
So these watchers think that they should maybe get some activity going by making a few posts. They do that and if nothing happens within 15 minutes, this happens:
'Hey, no one is responding to my posts, maybe I should make a few topics that take me 2 seconds to think up'
Thus, with enough people doing this, we get a forum with quite a bit of meaningless posts and topics without thought or inspiration put behind them at all.
MY PROPOSED SOLUTION:
No one responding to what you say? Go
do something for awhile and come back later when you have the time. Forums aren't meant to be places where you spend great deals of time, they are public communication boards for large groups of people who aren't on the internet at the same time. If you want to talk to people in a rapid fashion, use AIM. Multiple persons involved? Create a Buddy Chat. It's 100% free. Or, hey, download mIRC and get on #tmk. If you are having troubles doing so, you can PM a Mod and ask for help, so none of you try to play the "I can't get the chat to work" card.
So let's all work together and try real hard!
If you get an itch that you just can't scratch, AIM me at Misterfantastic4 and I'll quench your urge to type words at people (if I'm on).
