Should They Keep WUWAI Say NO!

[Spring Rubber]

People like to complain about the complainers, but let's face it, there's nothing else to talk about on this forum. Pretty much no one here is interested in what TWC has become, and as a result, these forums now go days without posts compared to, say, four years ago when there was a new post every 5-10 minutes. TWC was interesting back then. There's nothing interesting left on TWC now. We might as well voice our opinions rather than leave the forums dead for days and days.

I honestly have to agree with you, Steve. Five years ago, when this forum was started, there were still lots of positive things to talk about TWC, and as a result things were active and vital here, with a generally positive attitude. Now, there's literally nothing positive, at least from the standpoint of the majority of the users, remaining about TWC anymore. I understand the whole idea about not bringing these kinds of issues up constantly, but how can you when there's nothing else to discuss? It's sad that this is what it has come to, but you certainly can't deny it.

I have to say that I find it very positive that a forum administrator is expressing this opinion.  Generally, all I hear is that if you don't have something nice to say about what TWC has become, then don't say anything at all.  I honestly don't understand that sentiment, and I never have, but I hear it a lot.

The reality is that we all feel the same way about TWC, but constantly complaining about it doesn't help anything.  I've already been told by several members that they can't stand the complaining and want to focus on more positive things.  Playing the blame game with NBC only goes so far as we can't do anything realistically to change it.  Thus, we need to appreciate what we were given from the past and what could come in the future even if finding those positive nuggets are rare.

It's actually a reason why I try to focus more on weather and TWC's role in it, because there will always be weather and interesting things to talk about here.  Perhaps I should start polling everyone for some new ideas with some relation to TWC that will make everyone more interested and feel positive about this forum.  I'll be glad to help if it can make all of us feel a little happier about things here.

I see what you're saying, Patrick.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few changes in focus around here if it spurs a little interest/activity on the boards. That may be the only real option because the whole "no complaining about TWC" philosophy alone is just going to make things worse activity-wise.

I think people just don't want to hear the same complaints rehashed from a couple years ago.  Complaints on brand new items or issues would be more tolerable for a little while, but it's already proven socially that people are repelled from negativity and are drawn more to positivity.  To address the changes in focus with TWC here, I've opened a new thread, and I would encourage everyone to take a look and give it some thought for suggestions.
