Meh, my attempt to stir shit up and get people posting didn't work too much. Its sad to see this place turned into a ghost town.:(

The thread I dredged up was 4 months old and the reason I brought it up is because there are complaints from members about how 'dead' this site is and how it wasn't like the 'good old days', and I pointed out that __V__ had given an explanation as to why things were in the state they were in.

You might not agree with Sistinas' method for creating traffic, but at least he's trying. It's better than making impotent remarks about how 'dead' this site is and then compound the problem by saying things like it's not like the 'good old days' making new members feel decidedly unwelcome.

First post in this thread was made in October of 2005. By my count that's a bit more than four months ago.

I don't see any signs that reviving this thread has increased traffic to this site. If his foul mouthed attacks on myself are what's considered a productive approach to creating interesting content for this site, then my days here are done. I'll gladly make myself absent if that's what people want from this place. Have at it.

Reviving this thread has not and was never intended to bring in more traffic, I was attempting to stir the pot, get the vets posting. Usually during a controversy everyone has an opinion. That gets people posting something, anything.

Yes, I was rude and foul mouthed, is that any reason to run away and pout? Like sympathy much?

I'm a pretty direct person. I tend to take things as they are, and I don't spew bullshit for bullshit's sake. Life's too short to deal with moronic crap when there are a multitude of other things to do. So, yes, if that's what this place is going to turn into- like when OMCDave was here- then I have no interest in participating.

You act like there wasn't an ignore option when Dave was here. Pretty simple. Obviously between his moronic posts there were topics with substance.:rolleyes:

What I'm acting like is caring what I chose to do with my time. If what the populace of HDC wants is a return to idiocy, then it's not a place I'd waste my time with. Simple as that.

Look at you posting neverending!;)

I wasn't sure which thread you were referring to. There was more than one brought up.

I'm just tired of complaints about how 'dead' things are; this is nothing but destructive. I think Sistinas made it very clear that this is an attempt to liven things up (I'm sure he doesn't really feel that way about you), and like I said, it's better than just griping without making any attempt to rectify the situation.

If you have any tips on some possible hot topics of conversation (you know I have no problem with controversy:rolleyes:) I would love to hear it. I get concerned about voicing unpopular opinions on certain films not because I'm afraid of debates, but because people take it WAY too seriously and get really upset and start hurling personal insults. I recently had a wonderful CIVIL debate with Despare and Bwind on the subject of guns, a very controversial topic, and we managed to discuss the matter without calling each other 'morons', 'd*****bags', or refuse to speak to each other again.

I would LOVE to discuss certain films that I felt were overrated and/or pretentious and give people who seriously think certain highly regarded
films are total crap (they're not all trolls) a chance to argue their case without being subjected to a flurry of name-calling or being told they're just an ignoramus not worthy of anyone's time.
