How is your day?

@wild-ghost Ah come on dont be like that at least tell us how bad it was so we can at least pretend to be sympathetic

[Ryoga]

@wild-ghost Yeah, tell us how it went, we need details. :)
@skull Lol, pretending to be sympathetic?

My day is better then it was earlier. My stomach had been bothering me but now it's better.
On top of that I finally got the chance to talk to a good friend of mine, after we kept missing each other.

@ Royoga well we should at least show some sort of interest in what other people post it will help liven up the forum a bit rather than people just coming along and thinking "Oh my someone else has posted here I'll post a random one line to up my post count" lets face it a lot of the threads here are just dull and boring because people dont actually discuss the topics they just post one line for the sake of posting it. The forum is becoming less like a forum and more like facebook or twitter. Which is a pity because it really doesn't take much to put together a decent post and the more people do it the easier it gets to make longer posts because its actually like having a conversation and you have a vested interest and want to contribute something of substance. Even the rubbish threads like what was the x thing you ever x'ed have the potential to be good entertaining threads if people bothered to explain why they chose a certain thing to be the x thing the ever x'ed then other people could reply directly and give their opinions on the other persons comment leading to a discussion taking place.

I really should practice what I preach how is your stomach do you think it was something you ate or just a random cramp? I like when you bump into people you havent seen in ages online its good to do a little catching up you'd be surprise how much things can change in a couple pf months

[Ryoga]

@skull You're right about the forum, but what can you do? People just don't have the same interest in posting as they used to and I really don't know why. I mean we're in an anime forum but i've never seen so many dead anime threads.

As for my stomach, it happens more and more like this when I don't get enough sleep 2 or 3 days in a row. I'm not sure why this happens, since this wasn't always the case, but lately it has been. Things change constantly in people's lives but i think we all stay the same to some degree.
Even though it is good catching up.

I have my own theories as to why people dont participate,
1. Laziness brought on by facebook culture, alot of people use facebook which fosters a culture of clicking like or posting short statements not actually carrying out discussions the main problem is that the forum isn't personal like facebook so the short posts lack the level of personal intimacy that they do on facebook leaving them shallow and meaningless on this forum and best relegated to the spam section and user profiles.
2. The post counter, its like the rep counter people started rep rings to have the prestige of a high rep count rendering it meaningless when it was in fact originally intended as recognition for good service to the forum. If people didn't get the "impressive" number under their name I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be bothered posting in the rubbish threads unless there was some point they really wanted make.

As for your stomach, well its simple. Lack of sleep is causing stress, your body doesnt have enough energy to carry out its normal functions so its suffering a stress reaction thats why you've got stomach pains other things like fatigue, head aches, and bad skin complexion are common symptoms too
