1 | Why do people lose interest and leave? | Bible general Archive 1 | Sir Pent | 21147 | ||
Dear Forumites, I think that there has been a slight frustration building for quite some time regarding our forum here. Reformer Joe has recently articulated it well. There are many threads which are either of minimal value (see Kalos' questionable question post), or which leave little room for discussion (like where is such-and-such). Then there are the neverending discussions on issues such as Calvinism vs. Arminianism (with the recent additionof Amyraldianism). While these are still threads that need to be addressed on the forum, I believe that some of the most regular members (especially who have been here for a while) could lose interest. I wonder if this partially explains a trend that I discovered while looking at the history of the forum. There are some members who have been here forever like Kalos, Charis, and Hank. However, there are also many people who are very active and supportive for a time and then just kind of disappear. Some of these RCScroll, RElderCascade, Brent Douglass, Xapis, Heir of God, KBurgee, Melchizedekau, Reformedreader, Jim, InHzsvc, and GMsmith101. And there's also our most prolific poster Nolan Keck, who has been on sabatical for over a month. I think that it is worth addressing to discover a way that we could continue to improve the forum so that people will want to stay. Their experience and valuable input is sorely missed when they leave. What does everyone think? For those of you who have been here a long time, do you remember why some people left? Why have you stayed? Are people really frustrated, or do I interpret Reformer Joe and others incorrectly? |

Greetings, Although I never was a prolific poster, I did participate in the past. I felt I had to stop for a while because I found myself going to this forum instead of directly to the Bible too often. I guess I am now a passive participant. I read the forum occasionally and gain insight frequently, but frankly, looking at the topics, I still see some of the same discussions continuing (Baptism formula, etc.). God Bless, David |

Greetings David! Long time, no correspondence! Its good to hear from you, and I remember you from "a while ago!" :) Welcome back to the Forum, and I know exactly how you feel when you say that you found yourself going to this Forum rather than to your Bible first. Believe me, I felt "the pull of the Forum" and still do. But I have mastered it! :) Thank you for dropping in again, and I pray that you will in the future as well, although only occasionally.. Yes, yes, those same old topics (baptism, etc, etc) will never go away... But there is no substitute for the friendships that have been created through the correspondance that has been generated through this Forum. Blessings to you! Nolan |
