Are OCUK Forums in decline?

Never been suspended thankfully. Did get one infraction against me for hotlinking. Didnt realise it was against the rules at the time. Never been in trouble since then.
 
Resurrecting topic.

I'm going to give my own take on this.

I spent some time away from OCUK for the sole reason that whenever I tried to discuss anything remotely relevant to my own interests [spirituality, philosophy, religion, the paranormal], it would get shot down. OCUK doesn't like spiritualist thinking in general. You can see this from the evidence that whenever a religion thread gets started, it turns into an argument and gets locked. I'm not going to spend a lot of time tirelessly battling this, it makes much more sense to go to other forums where people agree on these matters and want to talk about them positively, which I do. It's hardly surprising that a computer forum would attract largely a bunch of atheists. That's fine.

The upshot of all this is that I've stopped creating any topics that relate to the above, and now avoid discussing them here. And it's for reasons like this, I feel, that this place has got more boring. More spiritual or even eccentric topics have gone out the window because the one-upmanship here is so strong.

Looking round the topics here for the last few months, they have become highly standardised and dull. I imagine this will continue for the forseeable future. It's a shame, it used to be more fun here.
 
I miss the more eccentric threads to be honest. I'm guilty of taking the mick a bit when it comes to the more wacky stuff but I don't want to stifle discussion.
 
The forums are stale i agree. It is the same look and boring Avatars. People do like having a go at others on here. Seen many get shot down in flames, esp religious threads etc.
 
Religious threads are crap anyway and people throwing poo around should get shot down with flames, they deserve it.

Might be crap to you but some have beliefs and shouldnt be stoned for that. Only a gibbon faced idiot would do that! :D
