@Siggy and shame on you for not mentioning the rest of us that contributed . Adding more insult to injury I see @Hamistoso got mentioned twice. I'll be crying in a corner for the foreseeable future.

I don’t know if your 1st strike was accurate. I mean you responded to Blue Beetle, then just added something else and the lemmings simply followed.

Be careful what you wish for. This is not currently a very robust forum to begin with. It's already in danger of fading away from lethargy and lack of contribution. Adding yet another rule of "stay on topic" would just drain more energy from it. Better to be lively and off-topic than lacking in conversation.

Conversation by committee?

Blue Beetle, the movie, is a box ticker for those types who like to make movies that tick boxes. The movie going public are so desperate for anything organic and slightly original that they've ran Barbie up the flagpole and started to salute.

Folks are tired of pre-shredded cheese. They're longing for something off the block... or have given up cheese altogether.

That and the CGC forum isn't as toxic as it used to be. The main downside, other than the fact that's it's associated with CGC, is that you can't share CBCS slabs.

Wasn't that long ago there was enough activity here to distract someone through a 2-hour plane flight. Now there's not enough to distract through a morning crap. It's like the goal is to choke the forum into non-existence.

There are ways. Sure, the logo can't be seen, but pretty much everyone knows who slabbed this. I've never had an image like this questioned.

We're older and have talked about everything... more than once.

That said, people like to talk about lack of contribution, but then don't contribute. It's like complaining that the church is low on money, but then ignoring the collection plate as it passes. Not to single out anyone in particularly.

Conversation on a chat board isn't a self starter.

True. It wasn't so long ago when @Ebaymafia would start at least two new threads a day.

@GAC maybe if you leak your super secret discount code in another thread it'll raise the forum morale.

It's true, but perhaps if the boundaries of acceptable discussion were not so narrow, that would also spur contribution.

I didn't realize not being able to talk about pressing techniques, drugs, and politics was so restrictive.

I know, right? But I guess it restricts posting movie names, jokes, gun ownership debates, anywhere that there is disagreement about social issues. Even prognosticating about the economy and how it will affect the comic book market can get a thread locked.

Perhaps it's not the topic, but how the topic is discussed by those involved that gets the thread locked. But that couldn't be it. It has to be moderation, not the way someone conducts themselves.

There's definitely something wrong with moderation though. How have I made it this long without even a minor suspension?

Does it have to be an either/or answer? Could it be a combination of both?

You've just earned the benefit of the doubt through good behavior. It's like accident forgiveness on an insurance policy.
