Honest Question for VB Members:
Would you really like to see this place busier and with lots more members?
I actually like it how it is. Sure, there's people who have left here that I miss, but a smaller group is better than a huge one. I feel like I know all of you much better than I ever knew anyone at CF. Feels more like a family here now. What does everybody else think? |

I think everyone here has a pretty good sense of who's who and where they're coming from on most issues, that's one of the benefits to being a smaller forum. Along with that, some of the vitriol had died down with the exit of some of the more agressive members which is also good at least in theory.
But because we are small there's really not too many challenges or different opinions put forth because 90% of the membership is like minded. None of this answers your question however. Would *I* like to see some more members? Sure. At least one Libfuktard like myself would be kinda nice. |

I participate on forums with over 100K members. That serves a purpose, you get lots of responses and opinions, but who can keep all those usernames sorted out in their head? I can't remember who is who, outside of a handful I may have traded PMs with or met in person.
I'll bet I'd have a hard time remembering a list of ten of them I've had significant conversations with. |

Many of you have been there through some very tough times. A few of you I exchange pm's with often. A couple I call close friends. One I met here is like a brother to me.
A large membership base wouldn't be the same. I'm good with it. |

There's benefits to both. Large forums have more variety and speed where small forums are slow and you can actually "know" the folks. My preference is both. I can have my cake and eat it too, you see.

I'm here less often because it's less interesting than it used to be. There's a dozen folks here that are tight, and the rest are mostly ignored. The ones that really rubbed the dozen regulars wrong were run off. Hell, most of the mods have abandoned ship.
So I guess no, I liked it better before. |

The interesting thing is it's always been a pleasant experience whenever I have met someone in person after meeting them on the internet. I hope to do more of that in the future. |

Need more guys posting goofy stuff. I miss Knooger posting "I'd hit it" stuff and WOEII posting threads on "smashin deals" and tractor stashin shed, threads. Barn Babe is not taking up the slack, so yes, need more posters.

I feel like we have a pretty dang good crew here!..
I also miss the ones that have left.. I think most of them will be back now and then when they have the time.. real life sometimes gets in the way of our internet fun. Hope so anyways.. I'm also all up for seeing more guys and gals join in with us here.. and think different views make things more interesting.. The world would be a boring place if everyone all thought alike. |
