Is the Quality of MusicBanter Decreasing?

See the catch is, there aren't really too many discussions anymore; people don't respond that often to stuff.

I think it's because there's a negative correlation between the amount of posters and the average post quality

I usually have little to add to the one-liners that litter our forums these days.

I absolutely agree with you there, I've been doing my best to get some discussions going... I don't really like making really short posts because I usually feel bad about wasting the space. And btw, welcome back CLLR. Didn't say that before

I was too busy whining.

This is why I advocated for the journals in the first place. Through regulation we can ensure a safe haven for quality. The masses wax and wane with thought and intrigue, but the readers section should serve as a bulwark against the crap of the unwashed spammers.

If you think the forums are going down hill, put some thought into why that might be. The new regulars we've been picking up have been high powered trolls.

It's because I've been named the Supreme Ruler of Music Banter.

I've noticed this. This place needs more regulars.

Or the regulars need to take a more active stance rather than passing the buck and waiting for other people to do the work for them.

I check every day, but there are hardly any new threads or new conversations. It has been bothering me, when I first came back after my absense it was full of life, so what happened?

I think it's a combination of there being such a huge influx of n00bephytes lately and the fact that frankly 9/10ths of the active threads are ****

It's because of the amount of posers who are more interested in projecting a self image instead of actually talk about music.

There are people here with 1000 posts or so and I have no idea what music they listen to. On a music forum that shouldn't be.
