I just want to get a little idea of the age distribution of this site. Right now, my prejudice is that the majority are High school - College Students.

This Site is Worse Off than I Remembered It to be...
What happened? When I left, I didn't expect the few religious debate threads or the serious diplomatic action threads to become the main feed of the crazy trolls around here. It's like you're separated between those who live for this site, and those who live for the debates on this site.

King Atom (100 D)

I'd say balanced activity.
Over 45,000 users are registered, and I only see the same thirty names or so...
Those of you who don't talk much should speak up, and those of you who speak up already should shut up and go away.
What's the best way to eliminate the effects of factions? Plurality and a Large Republic.
What an interesting correlation - you return and the site is worse off for it!

I agree with KA... I'm avoiding the forum way more than usual cuz of the repetetive nature of the threads atm (religion in particular, yuck). Maybe a few YJ real-life anecdotes will turn us around.

i don't talk much because I don't believe in god and find most of the chatter non dip related. If I want to chat about that stuff I go to my local bar where I can get an immediate reaction rather than a suspended response. It doesn't mean that I don`t read some of it though, it just means I see little point in responding.
>going to a bar for intellectual discussion

lol yeah i was just thinking "what the hell bars does this guy go to"

maybe he's european or something? i have this romantic image of european bars and pubs as being places you can actually talk. maybe it's not true. thanks, tv

anyway if this forum has one single theme, it is the theme of people endlessly complaining about its nature, specifically, complaints that it contains non-diplomacy related threads.

oh well. you want to talk about diplo, start a diplo thread. we talk plenty about that shit, but if that's all we talked about, i think i would not like anyone on this site. bunch of strategy bots.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
07 Jun 12 UTC
And can I just say that over the years I have learned a hell of a lot about other people and their ideas on this forum. If its nature had been forcibly changed during that time bowing to said complaints, I would be a poorer person intellectually. Take it or leave it, but for me that's been the case. KA-style bitchings haven't ever phased me, probably never will unless Draugnar DDoS-es us or Hasbro shuts us down.

Great example was the time we had a huge abortion debate sometime in 2008 iirc in which orathaic convinced me to adopt my moderated position. If it weren't for him I might be wringing my hands about fucking Plan B still. That would suck.
Mute Thread solves all. Refreshingly, when I visit Forum the threads largely are of things that interest me, plus a few new threads I've not yet seen. Yay, Mute Thread!

@Thucy Yes I am European and my local Pub only generally gets noisy in the latter part of the evening. During the day people go to the pub to read the paper, chat, have lunch etc and conversation is good till around 9pm when the kids come to play pool etc. My experience of American bars is limited but similar. I guess you only go out during the later hours?

See the problem is, Larfinboy, I want to get drunk, but I also want to just chill.

Apparently when everyone is trying to get drunk, no one chills. It's what I get for being an oddball that way I guess. My options then seem to be: get drunk during the day all the time, or deal with the noise. I kind of hedge it and do both. Lmao.

I agree. This forum needs more variety. To that end, I have decided to start what I recently started doing on vdip and shamelessly copied from Jacob: Keep a strategy thread on the first page of the forum at all times!

Stay Tuned!

King Atom: What are you still doing here? I thought you wanted to "urge" us all to "give up on" this site and never return. And you yourself promised never to return.

The way the forum is set it doesn't really lend itself to a ton of useful discussions. The topics that rise to the top are the ones with recent comments, which are disproportionately those that have arguments and so forth. I suspect that for a lot of people it's not really convenient to scroll through and look for the particular threads that they're interested in.

This game is still waiting to get off the ground. England from the original game 2 went into Civil Disorder and I'm being (tentatively) replaced by Achillies27 unless he takes the old English player's position for the replacement game 2. Looking for a role-call for those playing the game.
