The board is essentially unusable, and IB has made it abundantly clear that they do not give a single shit about the "user experience" on their message boards. I don't expect it to change any time soon. |

Solution seems pretty simple- become a vendor sponsor for the off topic forum. Money talks and all that.

None of that will happen. Why? Advertisers don't care about OT. CF has far more activity in the Corvette generation sections than OT. If OT disappeared completely the advertisers wouldn't care. (I think some of the Mods/Admins there would like OT and P&R to disappear.) VB has very little activity in the Corvette sections, with most in OT and P&R. Two very different places. Related question: This place used to have lots of activity in the Corvette sections, as well as the regional sections, and even had vendors, but not now. What happened? |

How many members have been run off by the group here? Pretty obvious why the numbers are down. |

Back in the good old days. if you were in school and some flamboyant femboy showed up to hang with you, he will be faced with two options. "Friend up" and fit in, or thin skin your way OUT. Times changed and suddenly we are told we have to accept the blue haired fatty chicks with a pierced nose, and the soy-boy knob bobbers. I think the Barn is still old school in this respect and for that reason, I like it here. We are not forced to put up with the social outcasts and square pegs. At least not yet. |

Sorry, not buying it. Look through some of the older threads/posts in the generation or regional sections here. Many of those members weren't active in OT where they would get "run off by the group here." It's the same at CF, where the majority of those posting in the generation and regional sections never post in OT or P&R and have no idea how the moderation there has changed (and don't care).

Two things happen at that point, the newbies leave/stop coming in as they observe the games as a guest and some of the older members get tired of the constant nonsense and they bail. We've seen that be the case often. |

You sound like a guy that used to be in our golfing group. He voted for the pedophile child sniffer because Trump hurt his little feelings by calling people names. Then he got pissy when we would stand around the tee box and complain about just how bad this country is doing under the crackhead's father. We basically told him that if he didn't like it, he shouldn't vote with all the emotions of a menopausal woman and to suck it up and be proud of his choice. He no longer plays with our group. No idea who he golfs with as there just aren't that many pedophile supporters on the course from what I can tell. Maybe he joined a knitting circle or something. |

Just like the guy at the golf course. Makes really stupid, shitty decisions that affect the whole group and then doesn't want to hear anyone complain about it. If you invited a guy to go out fishing with you and, instead of fishing, he spent his time drilling holes in the bottom of the boat, don't you think you would have a right to complain when your feet started to get wet? I swear. These liberal soyboys simply do not want to be held responsible for their asinine decisions. It's always the other guy's fault and everyone should be more "tolerant". |

Why? I don't buy that it's because they got their feelings hurt by political discussions in OT when they weren't even active in OT. Ultimately it doesn't matter why, it's just something I observed when comparing the two forums. I'm still an Admin on a 4WD forum that used to be very active, but is pretty much dead now because no corporate entity like IB bought it and there's too many other sources of similar info with corporate backing and support.
Not me, but I don't need technical advice or help, which is why I migrated to OT over there from the generation sections. |
