In Response To: A community in decline? (Claude Errera)

I'm truly greatful for everything you've done for this community Claude, but I don't agree with you. I've seen very little hostility or complaint on this forum - but to me your comments seem a bit condescending towards whoever you're responding to. Or maybe I'm just having a brain-fag, whatever. I have nothing against you, love to everyone! :-)

: What exactly IS a Halo Forum Response Syndrome?

: In answer to Steve L. - HBO doesn't monopolize my life or take over my
: personality - are you suggesting it has because I expressed annoyance at
: someone griping about 5 or 6 spam posts over a 3 month period (by their
: count, no less)?

: I suppose my point is this: if you've got nothing better to discuss on this
: forum than how much of a pain it is to deal with spam posts, when you've
: only seen 6 of them in 3 months... why even BE here?

: Yeah, I posted a number of less-than-excited notes yesterday. Why? Because I
: visit the forum, and there are a number of posts complaining about how
: it's missing features, or not policed enough, or whatever... and I wonder
: why I should bother? My index shows 109 posts in the last 5 days. 7 (now
: 8) of them are mine. That means you guys are posting 20 times a day... is
: it really worth my time to fix stuff you see as broken? (Not a SINGLE
: PERSON has offered to HELP with whatever changes need to be made - so
: there's griping with no sign that anyone out there actually cares enough
: to make a difference.)

: Diminishing returns, and all that.

: I'm far less negative on forums where there's SOME positive feedback, at
: least - so I suppose if you want to label this, you should call it MSPFRS
: - Marathon Story Page Forum Response Syndrome. (That is - the negativity
: is generated HERE, not elsewhere and brought here.)

: For a long time, I didn't even visit here - but then I noticed that Mark had
: stopped, as well, and I felt that SOMEONE should be watching over the
: place.

: I'm not so sure, any more. :(
