This has been a great place to spend time over the last few years but I think the Forums has lost its "soul" a bit. I have been a pretty regular reader and poster but given the "crap" that gets posted and the incredibly high degree of post whoring I've really lost interest. I check back occasionally but rarely feel the need to engage .....................

Why not engage a little more -- at least with the people who you prefer to engage with? The "crap" doesn't stand out so much if there are more people like you who engage in a mature discussion, etc. Also, we're taking measures to cut out the crap so don't give up on us yet!

No doubt the "other" issues of the day can consume us ..

But the information found here and the shared help is always welcome. Perhaps you can find those few extra minutes from time to time to regain your interest and stay in the game.

Excellent point, Rudy!

Again, let me make the disclaimer that I know I'm probably one of the biggest contributors to the 5series.net trashtalk, but Rudy makes an excellent point: the more people leave, the more animals will take over (please, excuse my crude analogy).

That said, I have a suggestion: since so many members seem to be enjoying the post-whoring and trash talk, why not make a paid forum for that?!?!

Hey , I'm open minded, .................... BUT , I've got a suggestion, why not eliminate the reason to "post whore" . The system as it stands rewards the # of posts with status and rank. Why ? I truly believe that most top daily posters are driven by "head count " VS content ..............take away the incentive and I think we have an environment where people measure their input with value VS BLAW BLAW !! What say the Mods ?? We have lost a lot of really good people and I think this is one of the key reasons .................Respectlivey

I don't know if that's possible and really don't think people are on a hunt to reach the 2500, so they can make up their own title...
