Dubai Forums Dubai Discussions Dubai General Chat

I've heard some "complaints" about the forum being dead. Here are some of the reasons I think:

1. So-called mods where "dethroned" and for many of them the only reason to post was to show "the world" that they were mods. Now they have no reason to post - sadly; for them.
2. It is easier to criticize someone's post than to start a new thread.
3. Not many interesting members or interesting threads
4. Apparently some here know each other outside the forum and that surely inhibits what is said.
5. Too many people with thin skin or claimed high "morals" and full membership in the ofendatoruim (by the way, the place is now over subscribed - and we do not allow access to DF at the ofendatorium- which come to think of it might be a reason for the low posting *note to self: revise ofendatorium policy*
6. Most importantly, as hard as it might be to believe, some have better things to do.

Just my theory....if you disagree; see "2" above

I vote for 1 and 2!

Your theory has merit, however the Mods were not so much 'de-throned' as disenfranchised.
You will note that some of us are still here and posting as were, and are, DF'ers first and given Mod status later.

As for content; some of the flaming seems to have reduced but there are still conflicts out there that create bad feeling. I shall continue to post and pillory to my hearts content!

What could be better than being on DF??

Agreed - that is why I said "some" who shall remain nameless but they know who they are

I can think of 2 "mods" who carried on "normally" after the mod-coronation!

The only way is if people just post (even silly stuff - that is all I do). This is not school or real life even - more amusement than anything (with occasional helpful posts)

Start a thread (it ain't hard)...
