This board has too many forums.....the more forums you have the fewer posters you will get. I remember the best message board of all times.

I know of a forum that works like that. I posted for 3 or 4 weeks and gave up. I don't like it at all. Conducting a dialogue is impossible.

There are too many sub forums here I agree but it's a balance. You want to compartmentalize information for each of subject search if someone were interested in a particular theme. The forum also does have a similar function to what you suggest with AOL on the right side panel entitled "New Topics". That gives you all the latest threads made. My only suggestion for that would be the forum should double the number of threads presented there at any given time because five most recent is too short a period to visibly catch them during busy periods.

The multiple forums just simply locating subject matter.

OP is describing Twatter. You have to wade thru "all" to enter a post you know about?

Doubtless you will have quite a few supporters from the more elderly.
They seem to be just more comfortable with past memories and routines , and tend to paint them with a rosy border .

Does not matter. Good topics make all the difference.

Comforting and comfortable probably .

Softer topic border , missing a few of the jagged edges .

Extremely --- glass apparently nearly half full when they are actually down to the last two sips .

Because simple things for simple minds.

It's number of posters and their quality that you should be more interested in .
At least 50% of present patients are suffering early stage Dementia and / or Cognitive Rigidity , and most of the rest are News deficient as well as Brain -------- pick your own term, as judged appropriate .

However , if the site was positioned just as a Chat site and /or Escape Place for the Elderly , that would be different, acceptable and honest
imho .

We really just need one forum here, the IM2 Racist News, that would streamline the ranting.

So leave.

No one is forcing you to stay. No one is forcing you to come back. It's not as if your whiny ass paid an admission fee and you'll lose any money.

Just leave. Go find your ideal board and never look back. Problem solved.
