Why are the forums so boring these days....where is the FUN?!!
I'm thinking of becoming an existentialist.
From what I'm reading, the whole concept is a mess. I'll fit right in.

I blame it all on Blondepoet! Since she quit participating in the forums, the religious zealots have overtaken us!
"Fun" has a low CPM.
Yep, some of us aren't immune to being banned like others, WA. Now we can't use animated smilies or any emoticon with a live link. This is one reason the forums look so boring. It appears HP doesn't want folks having fun on the forums when they could be writing more hubs.
Seriously, we used to have some great--as well as fun-- discussions before the latest hall monitors were appointed. It's best to go to other forums if you want to have some fun unless you're a greeter.
Someone could always start a new counting thread... (or else dig up that Wafflecheese counting thread.)
(Oh wait... I just discovered someone already apparently dug it back up in desperation. It's on the second page now.)As am I.
I think we need some drunk posters and some alter-egos who argue with themselves.. They've often been the ones to liven things up.
Coffee-drinking posters aren't fun. They're (we're) just all hyped on up on coffee and looking for serious issues and traffic matters to discuss.
Just don't get too "pest" off!
You're right. Even the Sandpit has gotten stagnant, with the same handful of hubbers, and very few new threads. I was thinking of reviving the 'Abbreviations' thread (they were actually acronyms). But with so few people in attendance, it may not be worth it.
Limericks to fit the present forum mood?
A fly and a flea in a flue
Were imprisoned, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "Let us flee!"
"Let us fly!", said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
if an atom is defined as an entity with protons (positive charges) and neutrons (negative charges) then here is a joke...
So a neutron walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a drink. The bartender brings the drink and places it in front of the neutron. The neutron asks "How much"? The bartender replies, "No charge for you"-
Here's one for you:
A small piece of ice which lived in a test tube fell in love with a Bunsen burner.
"Bunsen! my flame! I melt whenever I see you" said the ice.
The Bunsen burner replied, "It's just a phase you're going through".
No good?
Okay, here's another:
What weapon can you make from the elements potassium, nickel and iron?
A KNiFe
having fun yet?!?
Laundry instructions for a man...

Are people getting bored of the internet?
Just a broad question really, has the internet become boring? It feels like the internet used to be dominated by discussion (anonymous) and humour, and the outright weird. Now it feels like the internet serves primarily...

Is it me, or is it just getting boring around the forums lately? And so many people seem to have disappeared. Where is the fun? Did everyone just get tired of it "all" and pick up their toys and go...

The Reason Hub Forums are no longer Fun.
When I first joined Hub, I looked forward to good debates, discussion, learning about other Hubbers, and even the occasional arguments. You can learn a lot from what people write, and what pushes their...
