Great phrase. Gratuitously Drivelous!

....and they could change 'back' for the better too.

They do, but they don't have to if folks would stay focused.

I do wish I could "Turn back time". Above my pay grade.

It's every members responsibility and contribution....not what you say, but what you do.

Try to do my best, just an old person trying to adapt here!

But, not the end of the world, or the Squatch watcher's thread. We try to deal.

Seriously, not trying to be rude, but i assume the Squatch thread is in Random Ramblings? I'm sorry someone's chicken died, but i assume it wasn't a squatch that killed it. But again, that's why that section exists. j/s

Bugs the poop out of me too...but I think Nifty hit the nail on the head here:
People just don't pay attention....or are paying attention to the wrong things.

IMO stupid phones have ruined forums sorry, yes, that's an exaggeration and a generalization, but it's true too, tho it's not really the phones themselves, but the people who use them have no inkling of what a forum is and how it works(worked), or what a bulletin board was(to age me). Forum etiquette is rare to non-existent.
Staccato 'texting' has replaced thoughtful discussion.

I've been participating in forums for decades, and I have seen a sharp decline in content integrity since the phones/mobile devices got more popular in the last few years. Forums have always had chatting/social sections and topic discussion sections were mostly kept on topic, the shucking and jiving was kept in the social sections and it was 'self enforced' by forum members, worked great!

Growing ones post numbers, likes, and yakking seems to have taken precedence over content...look at this thread.....geezuz can't anyone stay on topic?!?! I'm not against chatting and joking and bantering, but gawd, 'get a room'! It's not just about solutions found, many topic discussions that could go on for months or years are derailed and clogged by the flotsam...making them near useless unless one wants to spend the whole day scrolling thru all the crap to find good info. I could go on and on, be glad I'm tired(but not inebriated). RantOver. Apologies to those offended.

Well put Sir, this thread has proven your point.
