Such as this one. General forums. I've been looking around for another forum to join, but it's tough since I want one without a specific focus and without large numbers of members. In other words, something close to a younger PTF. I hate joining a forum that has 100+ new posts a day and has already had thousands of members and tens of thousands of topics before I join.
Sometimes I find a potentially good one only to realize I don't like the members.

Google has failed me. Find a Forum has failed me. But most of all, this smiley has failed me. Look at him. he couldn't tell me anything. He has to think and concentrate just to breathe.

Well, the problem with that is that young forums aren't high up in Google or advertised much, so they're difficult to find. Good luck.

no so sure kovich will like this post, due to that would be direct competition to ptf... me personally i'd like a more active forum to join, don't care if it new or not, something with lots of members lots more opinions etc... the general debates around here are between 4 or 5 people, and the views are the same from thread to thread, we need a new forum or new member with new fresh outlooks.

we also know that the debates are not really going to change anything or get someone to see a different view cause generally we all know each other pretty well at this point, i can pretty much tell what kinda reaction im going to get when i say certian things from different people of this forum...

This place would be great with more members -- I'm sure we'd all agree there -- and more emphasis on literature, movies, video games and music.

I joined a forum called general forums but I don't know... doesn't have the PTF charm. Let's just try to turn this forum into something again.

I looked at that one, and it was just too far along for my taste. I'm very shallow like that. As AJ said, younger forums don't advertise as much. Now, PTF, PTF is pretty good. The thing is, though, that very few people stay any duration of time. They might rack up 500 posts, but then they're gone in a week. Even some of the regulars drop out from time to time, if only to make a stunning comeback. Now, off the top of my head, myself, AJ, formerly Brandon, Obdurate (for however longer he'll be here), Knoxbox, Gillibean, now Kovich, formerly Wolf/Konkikt, Joad, and Johnnymovgamer...that's about it for people who stuck with PTF for a good while. Others such as Jol or The_The we know but they just hung out here for a month or two. What we need is more dedicated members or else more frequent new members (who post).

See? I turned this into a relevant topic.

Way to go lover.

At least we have new posts now, though. We had 180 when I got home yesterday from work and that's pretty impressive. Good start.

Don't feel bad. I dropped off the face of PTF twice for a good long while just because I was getting bored with it. I always manage to return, though.

I've dropped off of the face of PTF like a million times.

If the activity was fresh and consistent, we wouldn't have that problem. SO THERE.

The only time I noticed that you were gone for a good while was when you were banned. I was away for months at a time.
