That's why so many movies are sequels or remakes. People flock to things they know and usually take awhile to warm up to something new.
This board doesn't seem as busy as Angersports was.

Your comment displays the elitetest attitude that will drive posters away. Just saying.swampgator wrote:Consider re-wording that thread title to where it reflects what you were actually trying to say.
Either way, yeah, seems a little slower.

The problem also lies in board allegiances. If you aren't part of the "in" crowd, then threads started die quickly.
Is that what you think happens to your post, "the in crowd"? Perhaps the topics you post about don't excite people or are obvious and need no response
