Not really used for a good few years, it's not kept up with modern technology and social media trends plus the moderators across the board made it a place you couldn't speak up if your opinions was different to them.

I said what I had to say, it's pretty clear that by responding further (on any thread) it only infuriates posters more, and more abuse is directed toward oneself.
Repeating what you've already said doesn't work even when what you've said has basis in fact, simply having a different viewpoint and/or sticking with your viewpoint is enough for the dogs to come out of their kennels. THAT is why so few frequent the forum these days.
Personal abuse deliberately targeting posters because of a differing viewpoint has been a common theme, when it gets to the point certain posters start bringing your family into the insults, using disgusting personal insults and the mods do nothing it's really not surprising folk aren't interested in being active on the board.
