What happened to all the posts
Is it me or are the number of posts declining here? Do I need to adjust my settings or is everyone doing something else? Thanks, Curly
Forum Discussion
No matter what social media site your talking about - no one uses the search function to find an answer to their question. It's like those commercials where one person expects his friend/neighbor to research and get quotes for home improvements. It is much easier to ask the question, and watch the responses roll in.
I used to answer questions about RV covers on here and have recommended the same electrician/plumber/moving company on a familiar neighborhood social network site. some on here - 2Oldman comes to mind, sometimes searches and posts links to the results. I've just stopped participating ion those subjects - don't even bother reading them.
I've also stopped asking for help because I'm tired of patching my flame suit - can't post a joke in ATC - it just gets deleted. Rampant trolls are allowed to exist - the latest one changed user names 3 times, and still spouted the same gibberish about Lippert - saying the same things under all 3 names - and it was tolerated.
I've joined the Grand Design Owners forum, and the one that spawned from it - so now I have two great places to go and find answers to my questions from people who have similar experiences and the same issues. I don't have to read about junk this and junk that, no one shares links to RV related crashes and deaths, and the mood there is - well, just better.
I don't get the issues many are stating they have - I personally don't have an issue with this forum layout or presentation. I use ad and script blocking addons on firefox. People should experiment with that rather than post the 50th time about how the software sucks. I even like this layout better than the one at GD.
Someone said they don't like it when new members don't come back. Read the post from a new guy who's first post asked about quiet generators - first response was that all generators were loud - obviously stemming from some experience in a CG packed like sardines. No wonder people don't come back. If you post about something you did wrong, you will be told how stupid you are.(done that - been told that)
I no longer want to post about the fun I had on my last trip, or any positive experiences - someone will come along and throw shade on you - I've dubbed these people the RV.net wolf pack. Always on the prowl looking for fresh meat to chew on.
So I come here to shoot the Sh#t and sometimes help out, but that's it. Maybe with the recent jettison of the #1 troll, things will improve and I'll have an attitude adjustment.
Good luck to this site - maybe it will get better.
