Hello

I just went through 126 new topics here on TRF and can't find a single one that interested me.

I pop in to see if there has been any update on JJ and then look for something interesting to read and for the life of me I can't find anything!

Has something happened over the past few weeks? Is it me? Is it the content? What the hell is it?

There was a time when I could sit and read for hours at a time

but now I find it a challenge if my interest can be held for more than 15 minutes

kinda staring to sound like my sex life, I know

.

Please, no blasts, just making an observation.

Shall I cut and paste the 126 new topics for you gents...?

It was a Rhetorical question.

TheVTCGuy · 11 January 2011, 04:06 AM

I only counted 125

Nicko I think it ebbs and flows, we all spend lots of time on the forum, then slack off, then (usually) come back again... Just the natural flow of psycadian rythems....

t e x · 11 January 2011, 04:07 AM

you have to find those topics that fly under the radar and talk about certain redheads and whatnot

Steve! I was just thinking the SAME thing- a lot of threads also started by new people not bothering to use the 'search' feature...hence getting a lot of 'recycled' feeling posts/threads.

No, it's DEFINITELY not just "you".

GradyPhilpott · 11 January 2011, 04:19 AM

A lot of threads are fluff and tend to be repeats of past threads and those can be a big bore or they can be fun to participate in.

It all depends on your mood and exposure to threads like, "Should I buy a Sub or a YMII?" or "Can I water the lawn in my DSSD?"

I like the threads that increase my knowledge of one of my favorite subjects, Rolex watches.

Discussion boards are a lot like spoken conversation. A lot of the discussions are just to fill a void. Some conversations are actually substantive and lend some insight into a particular matter.

Of course, there are those who have a knack for creating an interesting thread about just about anything and those folks are not as common as we'd often like.

Agree with Steve and Marc on this one. IMO. Too many newbies not bother to search before creating new threads....

Hey Eric!
Yeah- and then there are those that think anything Rolex-related is new and wonderful. Sad, but true...
How the heck are you, Eric?

I knew you were officer material the moment I laid eyes upon your first words! Spoken like a true "ZERO" Thank God the CPOs could seperate the bull from the S***Love ya´though Paul.

BINGO!

t e x · 11 January 2011, 04:35 AM

Yeah Steve et al... some of these questions... even from a vet poster or two are something to be desired.

TheVTCGuy · 11 January 2011, 04:39 AM

Speaking of interesting posts... Did I tell you guys about the kidney stone I passed?

t e x · 11 January 2011, 04:42 AM

did it hurt?

Can't say I disagree with this one, just not that much interesting stuff here lately. Same old posts, mostly just re-worded and some make absolutely no sense at all.

Just because you know everything about your 1680 so you do not be haughty.

t e x · 11 January 2011, 04:46 AM

so that’s instant memories of the stones’ thread. From my recollection of posted pix’s, your stone looks like a record….dam that’s painful looking at it.

OMG. I passed one half the size of that- and I thought I was going to die!

Prince · 11 January 2011, 05:02 AM

I suggest someone start an interesting thread. I'm tired of this constant drivel about kidney stones and watches!

You don't complain all the time. Just most of the time.
