Not sure if I'm the only one who's noticed as of late (no fault of the moderators) but this forum is going down hill fast. I looked up some previous years game day threads. Within the first 2-3 pages, there is 25+ posters.(some disagreements, some jabs, which is great) Lately there has been maybe 10, and it seems to degrade into personal arguments. We've lost a lot of members so far this season. I visit this site daily, and am always entertained.
The bickering has to stop though, or we're going to wind up with less than 20 regular posters. It started so well, and how it came to this? As much as I enjoy the outrages posted here, I think it's chasing others away.
There has been more than a few times, I've typed stuff, then waited a moment before hitting reply, and ultimately thought, "Fluck it. It's going no where, like banging my head against the wall.
I'm not calling anyone out, just a point that I wanted to make, let's get this forum back rolling, and make it the best Jets forum out there!
I'm Rob Ford and I approve of this post! Anyone know where I can get some crack? I'm not really Rob Ford! (Just covering my azz)

This isn't going to be a popular opinion.... but I think the decline in traffic correlates to the temporary "solving" of The Great Phoenix Coyotes/Quebec Relocation Crisis.
It got to a point where it almost felt like the Jets board was a mere distraction from the Business of Hockey board.

I agree with that.

I have also noticed a decline on this forum since the "changeover" from the old template to this new template.

I get tired of the fire Noel. trade everyone on a daily basis. I like Noel but i can be objective to his weaknesses. Some are so one sided and so unwilling to even debate issues.

Are there other forums that are busier? The couple I have seen have far less activity. But it makes you wonder where all the Jetsowners fans went. I agree that the PHX issue drove a lot of people here. Maybe the mods could ask Darren Ford to come here and save the forum.

I would say some of it has to do with the same threads/arguments over and over again. We are asking the same questions in year 3 as we were in year 2... such as "Is Pavelec a #1?" "Can Kane be a consistent dominating player" "Is Noel the right guy".... etc. At some point talking about it becomes old. I still enjoy the game day threads as I love talking about the game with other fans.

Another thing is we don't exactly treat new members with much respect, and I'll admit, I'm sometimes guilty of this. But if a new member comes on and creates a thread stating Buff should play forwards, we lose our minds.
