RE: Why dont people post more threads?
1. forums were slow (better now)
2. i dont like that posts about football in general are segregated to their own forum. i know this is supposed to be about cards, but id rather have all football in one forum (trading and box breaks are fine as sub-forums)
talking about sports in general, and having the posts banished to the other part of the forum is non-sensical, given the lack of new posts

Eactly... is not like we are trying to sell or trade through general sports talk.

RE: Why dont people post more threads?
first and foremost, the forum has been really slow the past few months so for me to post has been somewhat futile
secondly, my new job has me working ton's of extra hours and my playtime has been limited
we try and be active when we can

RE: Why dont people post more threads?
I wonder the same thing. I asked this the other day on the basketball side. Especially when we take time to share a mail day. 160 views and only 6 replies...lol
I don't post as much as I used to, but I'm almost at 4000 posts

RE: Why dont people post more threads?
I try to post once in awhile a new thread. mine never seem to get much of a response so I dont do it too often anymore. My blog also takes up a ton of time. But I am here everyday reading through the posts here and in Box Breaks but may not always comment. I do time to time.

I agree with this. I don't think there's a lack of threads, I think there's a lack of comments to threads.
If there really is a forum that has more participation from their members, point the way. I'll go there...

RE: Why dont people post more threads?
That is way I titled in my last thead "I hate to be the one" because there isn't that much support. But now, I see it isn't just my threads. I know I disappeared from the boards for nearly a year. I looked and read threads in that time, but I only participated in a few. I am trying to work back on to the boards.

RE: Why dont people post more threads?
This has been said before as well, but I will be added as three views because I looked at page one, page two and responded and brought back to page two again. Then I will be added as more views when I come back later to read more responses. The 100 views vs. 5 responses are not accurate measurements.

RE: Why dont people post more threads?
it might have something to do with the fact that certain topics we are not allowed to discuss on here due to the TOS.
for example, alot of threads on blowout are about doing box breaks, and we here can only talk about what we've broken.
same thing with ebay links, and prices of cards.
