<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1984727, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m not sure I see where you&#039;re trying to go with this, Kurt. (I&#039;m also not sure why you seem to be unusually cranky about CT this Monday; I imagine there are conversations I&#039;ve missed.)</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re suggesting that CT needs to change its policies in order to compete with other online forums, I&#039;m pretty sure I disagree. I&#039;ve visited some of the others, and haven&#039;t felt any urge to stick around them. This one suits me quite well. If it changes to be more &quot;edgy&quot;, or more &quot;stimulating&quot; (political discussion, dancing-baloney graphics, Facebook/Twitter feeds), I&#039;ll probably bail.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some new members join, like it, and stick around, becoming regular contributors. Some... don&#039;t work out. Some of those are probably our loss, but I&#039;m not sure what I&#039;d change here to entice them to stay.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may well be that this forum eventually<i> will</i> get out-competed by others, maybe some that don&#039;t exist yet. If that happens, I&#039;ll be sad, but it won&#039;t be the first forum that&#039;s gone out of business on me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
