    I think that is a good idea Neo.

    Potentially cool topics get buried quickly. We start too many threads. Only one topic a day per user would be enough.

    Yes, I'll second that.

    I've only been here a few short months but I love the newbies who come along and ask the same questions I did, and obviously others before us, there are always old topics to read. It always floors me that someone else actually felt and thought the exact way I did.

    I am not so sure cutting back on the amount of topics will help, it seems like we have a lot of people starting really stupid topics just to get replies, I have seen a lot of that lately, plus we discount all the trolls starting topics to get us folks riled up. I do agree that some important and useful topics do get burried thanks to a lot of fluff.

    I have just returned to this board after an absence of around two years. I am wondering if I have returned too soon. There are some very worthy threads but they do seem to get buried under threads that seem a bit flaky.

    When I see a thread entitled - 'Add 'in my pants' to a movie title - get 385 replies while some very thoughtful posts are ignored, I begin to wonder why a lot of people are here. I am not criticizing the - in my pants response - (steady!) as I enjoy a bit of light hearted fun myself. I am just staggered at the interest created by it.

    The reason this board thrives is because VARIETY exists. The balance is good. You got a problem? Someone can help. Research question? The Blondies of the board come to rescue. You NEED a good laugh? You'll find it on this board.

    I'm only a newbee myself but I think the fluff threads are as important in the ?what was the meaning of scripture whatever in the book of oh so boring and what is the JW take on it? threads. I went through the first 16 years of my life as a dub just to get the in jokes on JWD. Exposing the org for what it is, is important but so is a bit of comic relief. This is the only place apart from my immediate family I feel I can relax an be myself. If we want to bring down the org I've got a copy of the anarchists handbook and half a ton of fertiliser in the shed. Any takers? Next thing we'll be having to wear a tie and have a quick pray for holy spirit before we can post (tea towels on ladies).
