I agree with the slacking aquairum. But its all over the boards. This place has been slowing down more and more. So i see the silly threads as something to break the nothingness that has been happening.
Yesterday I left for 3 hours(~3pm-6pm) and when i got home there had been 2 posts outside of the aquarium. So if there wasnt someone posting junk threads i dont see much action happening at all.
The political threads just raise blood pressures and some people end up saying stupid things. I dont think anyone has changed there political views after reading and arguing here. So i feel they are just as useless as any other thread.
I disagree, will they change my mind, probably not, unfortunately the people who are good debater who disagree with me no longer partake in the debate. But I have learned a lot listening to folks who disagree with me.
I to have been dissapointed with the quality of discussion in the main forums. Mainly because when i first got on here I knew nothing, so EVERYTHING was new. However I know how to cycle a tank, and don't want to read how to cycle a tank 10 times in the beginner forum. And when I've posted more detailed questions, or need more than a basic answer, I usually don't get it.
Like right now, I have a 2 bigger candy canes, Both are in simular places in the tank, one looks great, the other has crashed from last week to this week. Why? I have no friggen idea, but I have been slow to post on here, b/c I don't think I'll get any more help than move it to another part of the tank. As if I haven't already done that. So I dunno.
I do however enjoy listening to some people discuss politics without it being full blown nutcases (well I can think of a couple people who are). I think it is interesting to talk to the people who are interested but aren't junkies. Or people really getting angry.
