I think the forum is great. I've learned a lot here and enjoyed many conversations. If you're not enjoying it, move on.

Boring isn't the right word. Oversaturated with threads about topics that have been beat to death is more like it. The current market situation has caused an uproar because not to many people have patience. We live in a society where everyone's attention spans are shortening and instant gratification is more important than the quality of the gratification. "The ability to delay pleasure is a sign of maturity" - Dave Ramsey
Humans aren't maturing, they are regressing IMHO.

This is a completely worthless post. Just another ‘I’m not happy with the state of the Rolex hobby’. Exactly the kind of post you’re complaining about. |

This forum is my delightful respite from the hustle and bustle of the workaday world
I enjoy myself 99.99999% of the time If there is a lull or if something nettles me, I simply take a break. I can hit the ignore button if necessary,too TRF has so much knowledge to offer. The forum has a plethora of quality people involved It’s a great place and I’m lucky to participate!!!!!!! All the best, T Added a picture as well |

I’m not complaining; just an observation. Though I’m super new to this forum, I’ve spent (wasted? ha,ha!) many years on other internet forums.
Regarding repetitive posts, watches are a finite subject; though there’s a lot to say, there’s still a limited amount of topics to discuss, queries to make, observations to share. So, if you hang around long enough, new material is few and far between. Then, there’s the “new thread/old thread” quandary. If someone posts a new thread on something that's been “discussed to death,” they are sometimes chastised for doing so and sent off to “use the search button.” If they then “use the search button,” and post on an old thread that pertains to their new question or comment, they are guilty of “digging up a dead thread.” Often, it’s a “lose/lose” situation. Personally, I believe that many members hesitate to post anything at all, as they’d rather not open themselves up to ridicule. There doesn’t seem to be any subject or comment that is safe from garnering demeaning remarks. Finally, since “a thread is worthless without pics,” here’s my one and only...

Another Forum that I frequent really DOES struggle in terms of contributions and content.
I do my best to contribute as many posts and threads as I can and to inject a bit of life/fun/friendly contention into it but some of the responses I get make it clear that my efforts aren't appreciated by all and that some clearly have no insight to what I'm trying to do. I don't let it deter me as I believe it is a worthwhile Forum and that there are enough 'positive' members to make the effort worthwhile. Be the positive change.

I would say however that sometimes even when the same question is posted it will sometimes elicit a new take or even new information and often it is some of these same questions when they are posted that these are the kind of things that keeps a forum going. Either way no one is saying you have to open the threads that bore you. I certainly don't as I only open those I am interested in. Whatever the subject or whatever the forum is about there is nothing more boring than a dead forum where nobody no longer posts anything whatsoever.

Sometimes it's the message, sometimes it's the messenger. I don't think anyone likes to be called "boring." Maybe the newer members could use the search button more often. How many times do we have to argue about what constitutes a dress watch, can you wear a Sub with a suit, is it safe to wear my watch playing tennis, or one of my favorites, does this watch look to small???? Too small for what??? Can you read the dial??? If so then it's not "too small!!!!" I too enjoy the sub forums more these days.

Now...the one-post ‘my dead relative just left me a Rolex, so authenticate it for me’ threads are so painful they should be banned. But, isn’t that the issue, we all have our opinions about what should be threads and what shouldn’t. This forum allows each of us to pick and choose. That’s the point. |
