Why has discussion died on Hung Angels?

[bigkid69]

With that logic why have separate forums at all? Why not have one giant forum with all threads combined? There is a reason that threads are itemized and grouped into separate forums. It allows people to more easily find the topics they're interested in and I feel to promote more discussions moving the picture threads to a separate area would facilitate that objective. Would it really be so troublesome for you to click a forum labeled Picture Threads instead of General Discussion? I would find it a lot easier not having to read through 50 picture thread titles in order to find a discussion thread I want to read through.

You're right, but what happens when a picture shows up on a discussion thread or a picture thread suddenly spawns a discussion? Boy the mods are going to be busy.

This is a tgirl porn message board, porn is very visual and some topics are very interesting, why separate the two? There are other boards because they are very different from the main topic here.

Discussion has slowed down on this board because it goes in cycles. I have been here long enough to see some very active posters come and go, some have been banned, others move on. But to me, it hasn't died, it has merely shifted speeds. Making a major overhaul to a popular board is just changing for the sake of changing.

Just add a "General (Non-genital) Discussion" subforum.

This wouldn't be an all or nothing alternative. You can still post pictures in discussions, and you can still have a discussion in picture threads. The point is to designate one area for picture threads that might have discussions, and one area for discussions that might have pictures. I don't think it would increase the moderators workload at all. I actually think it would be easier to moderate since now all the discussion threads would be at the forefront of the General Discussion forum.

What does porn being visual have to do with separating picture threads and discussions? Sports could easily fall under General Discussion and I don't think it is vastly different than General Discussion. My point being a 500 page picture thread rarely has ongoing discussions, but the 20 picture threads on the front page are pushing discussions into obscurity.

Creating a forum for Picture Threads to me isn't a major overhaul. Forums do it all the time and if you are unwilling to experiment with new things how can you ever be sure the method you're using is the most effective?

Porn is visual, the discussions on this board are mostly about porn, tgirl porn, tgirls or the men who love tgirls, all fall under general discussion. Sports falls under sports.

Is navigating the pic threads really that troublesome? I for one comment in both and post in both, having them both on one board is easier since they are both the same category.

... At first I thought it was all picture threads. I won't deny that I like looking at them, but all that can be found elsewhere and doesn't require registration....

....interesting....have to say I've done a pretty fair amount of checking out the various "adult content" forums over the years and, true, there are many that will let you DL images from the posts, but also many that will not even let you view the images w/out registering....and none that I've found that will let you reply to threads or post w/out registering
.....as for the discussion about discussion....I agree w/ Trish and the others about the cyclical nature of things. There used to be a number of deep thinkers here like Prospero et al who are sadly no longer with us....but others come along and fill their shoes. It all boils down, like most things in life, to Sturgeon's Law....90% of everything is crap. You get a lot of this stuff:

Tongue licking meaty heaven.

Chocolate cock
So hard so sweet
I'd suck all night
Swallowing your chocolate tater tots
Whoooooooole'nnnn

....and then there's the everpresent topic of dick size and how to measure it and why ( with inordinately large amount of focus on Bailey Jay for some odd reason) and the mindless drivel about am I gay or who is gay and who isn't and why....but then there's the 10% of stuff that's actually quite interesting, to me anyway, which has kept me hanging around the Hung Angels for going on 10 years now
...Discussion isn't dead...hell, we're having a pretty good one right now. You got something you want to discuss, start a thread....keep the cycle moving

Nah, I meant you can find all the porn pics you want for free without registering. Isn't that the source of most of the pics in these topics? There are still plenty of thumbnail galleries, and Tumblr makes it even easier.

I finally registered here because I was looking for discussion.

I quite like the idea of splitting the General Discussion section into two, one for discussions and one for picture threads. Can't see it being too difficult to moderate and would stop the actual discussion threads being constantly bumped off the front pages by carpet bombing picture posters.

Have to agree with EZWind, there's a lot of drivel on the forum at the moment and jojo9 is the worst offender, though Holzz runs him close at times.

I did try the, if you can't beat em join em, tactic...

Jojo9, what a prick.
He's never seen a shemale dick.
He thinks his rhymes are clever and funny.
But that's because he's fucking thick!

What do you think guys, am I the next Rabbie Burns or William McGonagall?...

Burns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Burns

"widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide."

McGonagall: http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/

"widely hailed as the writer of the worst poetry in the English language."

like how you always ask for info, or then take time to ask how others see us, when you should know better if you've been into TS women for so long?? lol.

I assume your referring to this thread, which I posted mostly for the comedy value.

I could just as easily have called it "Some arsehole writes about us on Reddit", but I chose to make the title a question deliberately to provoke discussion. Everyone else who posted in the thread seemed to understand that...except you apparently...

[holzz]

nah, just i exposed your bullishness and think i need to give a fuck about your cliquey mind, or why your think your opinion on shit is the one...hahaha.
