I still go to 50% of games in a season I'm just usually too depressed to write or read about it.

Football wise I use the forum as a kind of therapy, its good to let it out.
Being comfortably in the 41+ age bracket I've certainly not let football ruin my entire weekend these days (Wembley type disappointments aside). An hour or two of moaning and engaging in circular arguments does the trick.
The Mrs is happy because I leave her alone to watch strictly come ice skating casualty. The kids get on with xboxing.
Obviously there are events - new manager/new key injuries/new Vigs strop to talk about. But other than that its fairly mundane. We all hope we can find form and get up. Most of us don't see it. Some point out the pointage is still on.
Not much more to say on ground ownership until more comes out from whomever. Not got the energy or skills to do any form of digging to see if any more can be discovered than the PR has told us.

I don’t think it is less busy I just honestly think a few of the threads that we have created have actually ruined this forum unfortunately 😔

Admittedly a lot of things very worthy of their own thread do get lumped into the two threads, both the "Trivial things" threads.

It's been mooted before that we should get rid of such 'mass' threads. Too many people whined, though, so nothing happened. The good/bad things about football are also likely to deter new threads from being made, and the ex-players thread. Just a few off the top of my head.

Although sometimes it's useful to have catch-all threads - I have absolutely fuck all interest in cricket so avoid the Cricket thread, likewise if you don't like the political rants you can just avoid the Lets Get Political thread (or you could if Reg and Legends Lounge didn't keep blaming everything on the Tories/Labour in every other fucking thread). But the really generic ones do tend to narrow things into just three or four mega threads, I agree

Wasn’t there an attempt to bin off the trivial things threads a few years ago? And people got upset so they were reinstated?

I don't think you can win. Remove the trivial threads and either people won't post as much. Or start a flood new threads that are too trivial to comment on

To be fair there's quite a few good threads on here, just think the regular posters have dropped off a bit. We don't even get people like Thor or Tom Punt anymore or the fella who kept on about the pre season tour of Austria. Oh, and Ironside .

Twitter is mostly to blame for lack of posts I think. Reckon ditching the trivial threads may help. Nothing to lose by trying is there? I personally don't like the you're alright/cunt vote thing. I think that can kill debate too. Why not say why you disagree instead of hitting a cunt button? Nobody's comment is more important than anyone else's in my opinion.

I've locked the generic threads for now. Will reinstate in one week if it doesn't have the desired effect.
