fishers64 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Well, is the forum boring you recently? Are you disappointed in the lack of interesting topics for you to post in?If so or if not, why do you think that is?

Hahli Husky Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) I actually find it a lot easier to manage without throngs of people around, which is just my preference. It makes me think of the days before our membership exploded, and it was a lot easier for me to make new friends and remember who was who. This is probably because it moved/moves at a pace I can keep up with. I get distracted easily, though, so I've only ever spent about an hour on here per day before I want to move on to another site or activity.

Soran Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It's normally boring to me, but I don't look through many things to be honest. Only things I look through in the forums is any form of artwork, Mocs, and sometimes I participate in the COT Games. It gets boring if those specific sections aren't updated often.~Soran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yes, this forum has got a lot more boring. Quote [my blog] [custom emotes] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeluNumber1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It's not really as interesting as it used to be. I preferred the days when there were dozens of posts every day. *sigh* Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy..... I got the first post on a page for the first time. Who knows; it may happen again. What the... It did happen again... and again... YEAH! I'M ENCOUNTERING PROTODERMIS!

Sumiki Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm not bored by any means.

Kaleidoscope Tekulo Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Bored? BORED? Pfft, maybe for some people, but my time on BZP has landed me fighting dragons made of plastic and helium, scouring dark forests for unicorns and just recently I was taken to court as I defended the person who was charging me who was also my attorney. Long story, basically it had something to do with those blasted kids who can't keep off of my lawn. >>So, in short, no, I'm not totally bored. Making friends on this site is pretty fun (and discussing things, making artwork and occasionally posting a story or comedy helps). If the members here think this site is lack-luster, then I'd suggest entering the General Art Contest or submitting a shiny new (but mostly shiny) MOC to share with the world. Start a comic series, tackle one of the members here for some conversation through the PM system, buy some apples! It beats spending all of your time on BZP being bored.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Nope. If anything, I agree that having fewer active members makes BZP seem more close-knit and fun to be around, as I can know more of the active members rather than being lost in enormous online crowds.~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cederak Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I am disappointed in the lack of interesting topics to post in, but I wouldn't say I'm bored. If anything, I'm more apathetic about the matter. First and foremost, I visit BZPower for the Library. And while the old one was comparatively busier, there's enough stories to keep me busy if the rest of the site is staying pretty quiet.-Ced Quote Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakaru Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah, gotta say I agree with a lot of people here. We lost a lot of good members during the downtime, but it also shook off the stragglers and allowed the more dedicated (or new) members to get to know each other better. Conform.There's definitely a downturn in the amount of topics, but it makes it easier for me to read them all and post at my leisure. I personally enjoy the new BZPower (a full year after the downtime) and I'm glad for a fresh start. Obey.The community has become greater than ever.The staff are always right.

Nightvol: Lord of the Horde Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Having seen the forum in its heyday when 100+ members online at once was a low number, it is sort of refreshing to be able to find the topic you're looking for easily, even a day or two later. I don't think I'd be coming up on 9 years if I had gotten bored. Quote Unlimited RPG 2 Map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladon: Lord of Hesperides Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Bored?

Peach 00 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 In discussion, yes. Otherwise, I have interest in blogs and my friends - the latter is the only reason I stay on here, with the exception of my writing and feedback for that. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Lime Paradox Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) I can't exactly say I'm bored because I don't spend enough time here anymore to get bored. I really only come here these days when someone links me to an interesting topic or I feel like searching for bad comics, which is usually exactly as exciting as I expect it to be.But yeah, if I still frequently came here and expected entertaining stuff to happen, I would probably get bored pretty fast.

Rama~Swarm Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 My heyday was when "BZP" had <500 members. When I came back it felt strange to see this board so slow, but it reminds me of the old days and why I first came here. If you think things are too slow, find a couple topics you like and post. Or try a different segment of the site. You make BZP what it is to you. Quote Is it strange to be annoyed that other people are using my color?Y'all know who you are.

Ayel Hyland Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 GEE, IT SURE IS BORING AROUND HERE!All cheap references aside, I haven't really spent much time here lately, so I can't say I'm bored with the site since I don't use it too often. Although some of that boredom may spill over as to why I'm not on here lately, I think a larger part of that is the fact that I'm busier and I need to use my time for more important things like college and its homework. It's not so much me getting bored as it is me managing my time differently.
