Do you think that there is a reason why very few old members are still here, and the ones that are still here hate the place?

How can we find the reason behind this so we can solve the problem?

HAHA. Where did Podomaht come from? I remember you being nice before you came back, if you ever left because I may just not have noticed.

HMMM. *ponders*


......


*ponders some more*

The community. Older members lose interest? It happens all the time. If you miss 'em, join 'em.

Well that sounds awfully depressing.

Rather, I'd bring something to the game that might even attract older members back. (cB4?)

What I dislike is having new members deny that cB had a great history and that despite the declining activity on the boards, they think there's nothing wrong going on. These complaints amount to nothing but sticking you head in the sand and denying there is a problem, nor will it make createblog any better.

Does there have to be a reason or a problem? Sure there is, but people like to pretend there isn't one because it's a lot easier that way.

cB's 'new generation' is depending on the mod team to protect them from any criticisms, and the mod team is attempting to purge anyone who disagrees.

What do you consider the "New Generation"?

I mean you're a really, really, really old member. So what's old to you, and what's new?


I'm not the one who used the term new generation.

All I know is I took a break for a while and everything was great, then came back and the team was different and the community had changed for the worse.

I'm really not denying cB's great history. I was around for some of that history that you spoke of, and I was definitely around when you were active as a mod, then became less active, and when you stepped down, how everyone was all sad that you were gone because you've been around forever.

cB's been getting more active lately. It's not comparable to how it was before, there's no question about that, but I don't see anything wrong with it. For the past year and a half ish it's been like this. It's not like 2004 anymore. Maybe you're getting older and you see the community as less mature or whatever... I don't know, I'm throwing wild punches here.


Translation: I have no idea why createblog is getting worse, but hey it could be worse than it is now so I think you should be happy with the way it is.

Why are you pinning the blame on the mod team? The people who post in the community are responsible for activity on this site, not only the 20-ish people who enforce rules.


The mod team is supposedly made up of exceptional users from the community. If these people are supposed to be createblog's elite (different from elitists), then I dunno what to say.

There are people who genuinely wanted to improve createblog. But their vision was different from the mafia's so they were harassed to the point of leaving.

QUOTE(brownsugar @ Apr 16 2007, 11:04 PM) *
Uh, agreed.

Also, the older members have gotten OLDER and they don't have as much time for cB or are at different points in their lives than they were when they joined.

Well, I think if (SOME) of the older members who used to be here don't like the way things are now...they should go about it in a different, more positive away. (If they want to make some changes)


I think some of the older members are past any hope of recovering this hijacked ship and had their suggestions for improvements fall on deaf ears until they were asked to leave since they were questioning the staff.

But that's just idle speculation. I don't really have any inside knowledge on the matter.

So pessimistic!
Or maybe I'm just a blind optimist?

So what is your suggestion for improvements?

Because all people do is whine, rather than actually making an effort or trying to see whether or not the newer members who they look down on simply for the 'crime' of not having been here for three years are actually worth getting to know?

Hey Kryo, I joined three years ago too and I'm not flipping out either. People are right, everyone's older; I was just younger than you all when I joined so I'm not quite so fed up. Almost all of the oldies are in college now so that would explain a lot of the issues they now have with CB.

Just consider that.

It doesn't take a neurosurgeon to understand that communication is key. Please, don't waste our (at least, mine) time.
