Lynx is absolutely correct, most of the people that deleted are libs. It's like they are presented with a counter argument that burst their bubble and they freak out. Unfortunately this place was not built to be an echo chamber and that triggers some weak minded people. I won't miss GL. I'm glad he's gone. The other posters I barely know. I am still pretty new and not that active. Lynx may be right about US politics being a major reason they left. Admin knows more, one departee started a new board, etc. This board is big enough to lose 4 or 5 posters. Admin- here is a suggestion: eliminate some of the sub boards. There are 8 boards in "Politics". There should be only 1. Yes, only one Politics board. This would improve the user experience. Posters are more likely to get a like or a reply if there is only one board. Likewise with the rest of the sub boards in other topics. Combine boards and reduce their numbers. There are I guess 8 boards in politics, my point would be ...yes, but they're being used every day. To back things up like a funnel is not as productive. Thanks for the input. .

well I'll be honest, I mostly just use the recent post button. Which works for yours truly because Most of the posts are directed towards me. But I can see as an average run of the mill poster that scrolling through the forum looking for a relative thread may be tedious at times. Perhaps consolidate the boards that overlap. For example "The Pub" and "Political Superbowl"

I think the main reason is that 95% of the posts are a slugfest between the same two members who just throw insults at each other.
It's childish an very boring.
Are they both incapable of arguing politely, reasonably and NOT turning the foru. Into a private Fight Club?
Please grow up and stop boring the pants off everyone with their narcissistic temper tantrums

Paths is losing members. And I'm not blaming anyone for that. But we lost amulet, GL, dooglas, belle and I'm sure others I can't think of at the moment. When you have a good site like this it always hurt when people who post a lot leave. Just my opinion. Dooglas was invited to come back, and nearly even begged to come back. Sydney even PM'd him on Eden's Gate and he refused the invitation. Nobody told GL or Belle to leave. They left because they couldn't stand to be disagreed with. There's nothing you can do with people like that. Maybe this just isn't the forum for them. As for Amulet and Lily, Don chased them off. As lily is still a member and rarely posts, no one has chased her off. I have even been informed that she is peachy. Something about IP accounts. Amulet has come and gone multiple times. Last time there were serious family health issues. No one chased him off. GL has left because he believes posting here has exposed him to security risks. A lot of strange ‘stuff’ has happened recently. He took his concerns to Sydney who shared them with a temp that accused him of slander. After that incident, a security breach freaked him out and he needed to unjoin. Belle has joined and unjoined a few times. I believe she has her own board. That peachy speaks for her on this issue is fraudulent. In the meantime the board keeps growing.

Politics is a whole section. There has to be more than one topic in that section. Maybe limit it to two boards? Like Have a Liberal board and a seperate board for Reality That's great for your board but not here, here it's going to stay like it is.

Why fix it if it's not broke?
