Trolling the HP forums
It depends on my workload. I've been heavy into school the last several years, so I am a bigger troll during the summer than other times. Almost done now, though, so y'all gonna get big doses of sarcasm full time shortly.
I apologize in advance.
I have absolutely no consistency. If I'm working or doing other serious stuff, I come to the forums to kind of break up the "heavier duty thinking". Projects come in spurts for me, so if I have time between them (and particularly if if the weather's bad; I'm not above turning my doing-nothing-anyway time into at least looking for something on here. (Right now, I'm in the middle of getting Thanksgiving stuff ready for later in the day - but that's been going on for days now - so I needed a coffee break.)
Why this makes a good "doing-nothing" or "taking-a-break" thing for me is that I often then get ideas for things to write about (Hubs or something else somewhere else). Since I work on the computer anyway, and am on it a good part of my time; I may as well find a "break-thing" that might result in ideas for writing something. Better these forums than some of the idle chatter on some other sites.

Recently I'm noticing new members who have no hubs, no activity where they read or comment on hubs, and only join to participate in self interest and/or bleeding heart questions in various forums. Sort of using HP as a chatroom. Before anyone attacks me for this, please know I enjoy the discussion...

Miss the good old days when someone was always threatening to leave HP
Don't you all miss the good old days when someone on forums was always threatening to leave Hubpages? And then hilariously making some kind of error in their post like calling Hubpages "Hunpages" and then someone would jump on it and make fun of it. Don't you guys miss the days of people...

Suggestion to limit # of forum threads a person can start in one day
Whenever I open the forums, I see countless threads by the same people, many of them unanswered or with only a couple of comments. I would love to see a limit on how many threads the same person can open daily. I often have to go to page 2 or 3 to see what else people are...

Not disclosing earnings, impressions, etc baffles me!
WE are not allowed to disclose earnings, etc in forum or elsewhere. But, there are several hubs with earnings per month, hub scores, number of hubs etc by the same hubber. They list names of hubbers that they are providing stats and income. I don't get it. These hubs are at least...
