Reply To: One forum to rule them all
I wasn’t here back in the old days, but I don’t think is just about the cruise talk. The cruise threads take up less than 30% of the front page right now. There is opportunity to participate in other threads or start new ones, but the few that have been started have been abandoned by those that started them, but have been popular amongst the more active posters. Their voices aren’t being ignored because people are responding.
I have seen a phenomenon many times where I like relatively obscure performers and while their fans want the best for them, when the performer increases in popularity and succeeds, the fans for some reason turn against the performer and/or community that they were once a big part of. I wonder if that might be what is going on.
