Where Is Everybody?

Why is RAS getting fewer posts?

Tom Pabst wondered why post volume had dropped, suggesting off-topic policing drove people away. Others pointed to summer holidays, a lull between releases, and the growth of web forums such as Legends Central and High Gear. The thread drifted into banter about European vacation lengths.

Man.....has anybody else noticed how few the posts are around here these days? I remember when a few hundred posts a day, was a light day! Now, a few handfuls is a big day.......why? I wonder if its all this "can't talk about that, can't talk about this.....take that to rec.auto.somethingelse...blah, blah, blah"....is that what's doing this? Of course, anything taken to an extreme isn't good. Fresh water can kill you, if you drink enough of it. As much as I don't participate actively in an F1 discussion, I still like to read about it. And I like the discussions between our group, where we are "fans of racing" but follow different forms of it. And I like reading discussions between drivers who can turn right and those that can't. Isn't "racing" the glue that binds us? When I have a tech problem, I want to make a post about it where *everyone* goes...so I have the best shot at finding someone else who has had that problem, and fixed it! When I want to bitch about something some NASCAR driver does (did, will do), I want to make it where everybody is going to have the opportunity to read it....and comment back, even F1 fans! I don't want to make posts about NASCAR just to NASCAR sim drivers. I don't want to bitch about poor TV coverage, just to ah, well, ah.........where, by the way is rec.autos.simulators.badTVcoverage? Is that a newsgroup yet? **This is especially important** When I want to make fun of F1 racing, I don't want to do that in an F1-only newsgroup! No way, Jose! I gotta do that somewhere where I know my NASCAR buddies will be around to back me up if it gets a little "hot in the kitchen." You know what I mean? [And, please don't tell me to take this to "rec.autos.sport.makefunofFoneracing" because there is no such newsgroup. There oughtta be though!] Okay, I'm going to go start a new newsgroup. I will call it: "rec.autos.simulators.everything" That's kind of what I thought this place was, because it didn't have anything after the word "simulators," I just figured we all sort of took for granted, the next word after "simulators" was "racing!" Guess not. Tom Pabst

Of course, anything taken to an extreme isn't good. There is a reason there are thousands of groups. You should start the discussion in the most relevant one. Don't assume that because you can spend large amounts of time reading a newsgroup, everybody can. > Fresh water can kill you, if you drink enough of it.

It's simracing. > When I have a tech problem, I want to make a post about it where *everyone* > goes...so I have the best shot at finding someone else who has had that > problem, and fixed it! If it was a generic pc problem, I would go to a pc newsgroup. If it's related to a sim, this would be the place, fair enough. I don't think anyone has complained about that. > When I want to bitch about something some NASCAR > driver does (did, will do), I want to make it where everybody is going to > have the opportunity to read it....and comment back, even F1 fans!

I don't want to > bitch about poor TV coverage, just to ah, well, ah.........where, by the way > is rec.autos.simulators.badTVcoverage? Is that a newsgroup yet? So you think a newsgroup about auto simulation is a better place to moan about the actions of a NASCAR driver than a newsgroup dedicated to NASCAR? > **This is especially important** When I want to make fun of F1 racing, I > don't want to do that in an F1-only newsgroup!

There oughtta be though!] Try rec.humor If you can't stand for your own opinions without having buddys to back them up, perhaps you should keep them to yourself. > Okay, I'm going to go start a new newsgroup.

On my newsserver we have these groups: rec.autos.sport.f1 rec.autos.sport.indy rec.autos.sport.info rec.autos.sport.misc rec.autos.sport.nascar rec.autos.sport.rally rec.autos.sport.tech What doesn't fit into the other groups should fit into rec.autos.sport.misc If it's related to racing cars, of course. > Guess not.

I can't really remember a time where a "few hundred" post was a light day.

I think that most of the people who will take this attitude only take it when the threads are to the extremes.

I remember when a few hundred posts a day, was a light day! Now, a > few handfuls is a big day.......why? I think one reason is more and more people are using web-based message boards such as Legends Central. This isn't necessarily a good thing, but we're going to see more and more of it. One of the big problems is that people get a blinkered approach because they only ever read messages about "their" sim. - Michael
