So sorry for pointing out that you’ve only just noticed something.
Right, low quality rant.
We’ve plenty of folk that publicly flounce, and I suspect more that just leave without being noticed (because they just read rather than post crap) simply stop visiting here. An assumed amount of them were subscribers, so a loss of revenue to the place.
The reasons that people stop visiting could be varied, but I bet your arse that a huge percentage of people stop visiting this forum because it’s not enjoyable any more. Because that’s all any of us want; a bit of a chuckle, healthy debate, or just to learn something new.
When the contributions, especially from prolific posters, are just unpleasant topics, putting people down or killing any attempt at jovial threads with their awesome facts…well the place just shrivels up a little more and people that are just after some easily consumed ‘fun’, just disappear.
So sure, go googling about when cooked sausages were first available in the UK, and I’ll be thwarted. The fact is though that no matter what the topic, you seem to try to put the poster down, belittle them or on the rare occasion you’re not doing that, promote your own car/job/sodding Northumberland.
Nobody likes being put down, so why do it.
