Swami used to hand out crowns for threads and that kept the excitement going.

There has been little to no participation and with disappearence of MANY dedicated members and even moderators, there have been no engaging threads to qualify for COTW.. heck, I don’t recall even a COTY for last year.

Peaceseeker is gone, so is almost everybody.. it’s only sgars, ashdoc and me (and napoleon and charchila sometimes). I sometimes wonder if forum sites (and echarcha.com) have run their course, and time.

I think forums do have a role, although facebook and WhatsApp takes away precious free time. It's easier to go on fb/WhatsApp on your mobile phone.

But I think admins have to take some blame too. You guys have squelched a lot of 'different' personalities like Sonia and others. Different people bring different opinions, which generates banter and exchanges. Once you start banning people, it puts off other guests looking to join the site.

We need fresh blood and fresh ideas. We can bring back some old members and new members if the admins promise to keep an open mind and not be trigger happy with admin privileges.

Problem has been some of the banned folks (at least the ones I banned) were not genuine posters.. they want to fill the board with crap from other boards, or just copy paste random stuff, that is either unintelligible, or completely waste of online space.

One person was malicious in his intent, he would intentionally give links to a site where he could track the IP and thus sometimes be able to ascertain the identity of the echarchan that clicked the link. Swami did educate me on quite a few of the tricks used by such folks who he didn't entertain at all.
