Why So Few Martin Posters?

[alanmolstad]

a while ago I had a concern that this forum was on its way out.....But all that has changed now, and we see new members joining all the time, and the forum is returning to being a very good place to see and talk to new people...

Yaaay! I stopped by some time back long enough to see what you described and it was a little sadnening.

I still have an issue, a bone to pick with a lot of the posters on this forum, in that they all tend to be the "one-trick pony" as it were and only post on one topic alone.

there are a LOT of Mormons and a few Christians who post on this forum, but sadly that's all they seem to want to talk about....just Mormonism...

So while I thank Jill for now allowing new members to join our forum, I do hope that some of the older members of the message board take care to remember to post on other topics too, so that we don't just end up with only one thing talked about here.



I try to spend time each visit here to read some of the older topics to see if I might add my own thoughts to past conversations.
I seek to make this place known for being open to talk about many topics, and not just stuck on Mormonism all the time.

Yes, there are some here that don't like the fact that i try to bring up new things to talk about....yes, I get criticized from time to time for posting on past topics...

But I just think that there are many topics that have been discussed here over the years that could stand to be reviewed in the light of new voices having their own moment to share their views on things.

But then again, if you are one of them people that never post on any topic except for things dealing with the Mormons, then you need not think you are being 'forced" to pay attention to other topics I try to bring up in an effort to encourage participation on a wider range of issues....

so, MichaellS

if I could be so bold as to ask you to try something?...i would ask you to jump into a topic....let your own voice be heard...

it matters not that the topic has sat dead for 4 or 5 years, the only important thing is that you allow yourself to think about the issues connected to that topic, and then come and post the views you have about it...

share your ideas.....and perhaps start a new topic or two yourself!

!

Sure, and thanks for the question, right now its errand city but will determine to this end, , ,BRB.

Well, that can weigh in heavy, I can tell without knowing frequency, maybe that is what occurs with limited numbers, I don’t know. But agreed, multi topic is good, if not closer to being that one described as “thoroughly furnished”. Uh-oh, that wasn’t Mormon sounding was it? I’m bad.

Do you guys think Carm might allow us to tell others about this forum to maybe get some traffic from over there ?

Hello cheachea,

Being obvious about it might be one of their cardinal frowns. I'm thinking they would likely let it p*** as nothing if you used a WM comment to stress a point on their board.

many times we run into website owners that take a dim view of telling people about other sites.....
