Seemingly sciforums has been hit by a lot of Negativity recently. How I mean is with the topics of threads like "Sciforums member collapse? (http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=61604)", "I resign as Moderator (http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=61556)", "Bye. (http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=61597)" just to name a few.

It's of course the last day of the year for some (others have already transgressed into the New Year) and it's always the same, a changing point for some, reflection of their past year with thoughts on if they have achieved their goals etc. Sometimes it causes depression when they realise their goals haven't been met and it can sway their perception of all those things that they've done instead of achieving them (namely for some posting at Sciforums).

However it should be known to some they might decide it's an End, but to yet others still it's a new Beginning. We might have a few new members appear everyday, but I'm sure that number would rise if the current membership was more supportive and less negative.

I guess what I'm tying to say is perhaps it's time to try and balance those negative posts out by posting about what you *like* at/about sciforums, you never know some of you members that feel warn, cold and neglected might start to enjoy this place again with a fresh zest.

I guess I'll finish my post with a Post-Happy New Year, just incase I miss that magic hour in what ever corner of the globe you reside in.

personally i blame the sudden influx of moderators, the fact that sciforums was an easy going relativly free place to express yourself was the always the main attraction of this place to me

is this not also a negative thread? ;)

Oh shut your mouth.

For some people, the glass of milk is always half full.

For others, it's always half-empty.

Mine is sour.

Milk is poison.

To cows, it's a living. This is my point.

A Happy New Year to everybody on Scifo .....

It is just a touch of winter depression and mixed emotions after x-mas and before New Year ....

My glass of champagne is half full - and there is more in the bottle !!

:m: :p

Redarmy , your mouse or bunny is so cute , that I have an urge to kick it .....

Kindergartens are so sweet, watching the little kiddies playing musical chairs and throwing tantrums over spilt milk. Deleting posts that might compromise one's moderator comments... So adorable.

Happy Sytrder?

Watch that animation closely.

The poor little bugger's taking a double shuriken hit as it ricochets across his fuzzy-wuzzy nogin.

Ow !

This is almost propaganda.

The forum user base will continue to grow, regardless. That's something that seems to be positive (to you).
