I found myself almost played out on the other forum after 3 years. In the end you start to parody your own earlier topics out of boredom (speaking for myself) so I guess other topics, on balance would be good.
It would be good to get new people in too, on the other interests - if only to get away from the bitterness that existed on the other forum. (maybe they don`t garden)
I sometimes wondered whether it HAD to be left as it was (you know, the Lowlife &Scumbags thread type) to generate advertising click through for the owner. That thread got over 4,000 clicks and it seemed to me that if you were after the income you would go down that path as far as possible until squeezed back by the allegedly upmarket parent rag.
I thought any notion that we were were all `chatting in the pub` had gone out of the window - as demonstrated by the demonizing of new members as `trolls` before they had a chance.
So let`s hope it better now - I`m giving it a try here, under a new nick ;-)
