I'm not saying they suck. It's just went down-fold. And it's not about the spam/trolls/flamers either. There haven't been a lot of interesting threads around. All I see are, quote threads, love situation threads, break-ups, relationships, and school stuff. It's nice to give advice for a person who just broke up but really? Can you just look into the other thread about break-ups and use the advice there rather than making a whole thread about it again? Well, your story can be different. But look into the other thread and see! I know some of you can be lazy...though

And also in my opinion The last year forums were better, it had more unique and interesting threads.

So, what is your opinion about this?

I'm not much of a WEPR person anymore. That place is rough with arguments but it seems that there are interesting threads around there. But the interesting threads are still here and there though.

I'd say there are more interesting threads there than here, but the rampant ignorance that abounds.. It's not worth it, especially considering the futility of trying to change someone's beliefs, or their disregard of answers because they just don't like how they sound.

Looking at his post count and join date, likely not. Of course, maybe it just isn't his kind of thing? BBSes aren't for everyone.

And if you've been here for over a year I'm sure you will get bored of the repeated threads, just don't come on AG for a few weeks and see if anything's new when you get back..

Yeah, a few weeks. I've been gone for 2 months but only once...I've recently been gone for a while already...
Debates

Debates, discussions, rough discussions, arguments, etc. etc. etc.
I've never been a WEPR person. When I replied in a thread they're like, "That makes no sense." And so I gave up on that section. I go there from time to time when there is nothing in the Tavern, Art, or Media section.

Overall the forums games and tavern are the most popular sections/forums in the community.

It's not hard to make an explanation. D:

The occurrence of which prompted the creation of this thread, if I'm not mistaken.

Seem to be? I'd say that's almost exactly what they are.

Fortunatly we have the tavern.
There are some interesting threads around now, but that wasn't the case a little while back. Well, I'm sure at least some people found them interesting, but I as sure didn't.

OSHI- I'm even TYPING with an accent now. Strange that words are the only place I really have one.

If they all suddenly stop? What do you mean? That no one posts in a thread for a while? Or that the forums closed and you're bored?
There are only 2-7 good topics in the tavern each week or so, then they die I guess unless it's like that thread that keeps changing topics which I think died. It's a pain in the (censored) to just get out of the tavern and go into a different section. I know that it's just a few clicks away but the tavern is my favourite section now.

If all of a sudden nobody posts for like twenty minutes or so, that is when I get bored.

Yes everyone does get bored 20 minutes or so if they're waiting for someone to post in a thread. That's why I go play a quick game here or go on Facebook.

"they have generally gotten more boring"

There haven't been many interesting threads

I still enjoy these forums. Tavern is always having at least one thing interesting.

the tavern is my favorite section now.

That is all I have to say really...

Last year around after Christmas I think. The forums started to go down really badly. Like tavern was "last posted 36 minutes ago".

But it's been starting to grow up and up bit. But right now at its current state. It's okayish.

As of right now it is boring because I am the only person to post in the tavern within the last 20 minutes

We need some more moderators (not saying me whatsoever). That way, we could have less stupid questions and more interesting ones
