Question about inactivity of certain mods

[wiseguy182]

I don't want this to taken as a complaint, more as a question. It seems that that are numerous moderators for various forums that are quite inactive. For example, "combsisthebest". I have no beef with this person, but he/she has posted once in 6 years. It seems like eventually, someone would lose moderating priviledges due to being a dormant account. There are others. Again, I'm not complaining against anyone or trying to single anyone out.

I especially miss Monika (catlover79). Last summer, for no reason, she disappeared without a trace.

This site isn't as active like it used to be. Even I don't post as often like I used to. Most of my activity is on facebook.

Facebook is horrible!!!!

No good..... A CIA info gathering website!!!!!!!!


1 time I got an email from facebook. A sheep invited me there,I WAS PISSED!! (I dont want my email addresses known to facebook) I ignored the email and a couple days later another one came.... I ignored it.. A week later I got an email "REMINDING ME" that someone invited me to facebook...

At this point i was quite angry... I replied to the email and basically told them off -- I said "I will not ever join your CIA/info collecting website and I feel bad for all the people you have in your grip there"

Since then I havent recieved anything else from them!!!! (And I dont want to) I value what little privacy we can still attain!!

I only use Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends who are far away. I hate trying to have conversations on there.

keep in mind that Facebook tracks what other sites you come to before and after going to their site, and then tries to cross-reference those sites with other Facebook users on those sites - so for example if someone were stalking you on one site, Facebook would happily suggest to them to add you as a friend and all your friends on the site as well.

- assuming you haven't rigorously gone through every possible Facebook security setting, and then recheck those settings every month or so when they randomly decide to make any changes that then reset those settings.

- or you could use a browser extension that blocks all referrer cookies.

of course, then their facial recognition software will examine any photos you post, looking for and cataloging your "faceprint", and then sharing that data with any of their "partners" that wish to use it for whatever they want.

...all of which you have agreed to each and every time you open any Facebook page or click on any link on any Facebook page (regardless of any phony legalese mumbo-jumbo that you post on your wall stating otherwise) .

This site appeals to a small contingency of the general populace. Sad as it may seem, not everyone is a sitcom fan. I know, I don't get those people ever.

This site also has a reputation for uneven moderation. Some people are allowed to go off on crazy topics ad nauseum and will post nonsense just for the apparent joy of seeing their words in print; other people are slapped down, suspended, and banned for daring to contradict a moderator. It's pretty all over the place.

I communicate mostly over Facebook (and occasionally via Google+ and Twitter, but I'm also trying to promote my business via those mediums.) Most of the people who should be on this site and would add valuable content (and some drama, not naive over here) are on IMDB.com.

This site makes money for TJ due to the advertisements on it, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, less participants = less revenue which means less long term profitability. At the end of the day, it will be TJ's choice on whether he can continue running this site if it is not longer generating profit.

i'll agree with you there - I'm just saying that if you are concerned about it, there is a lot more that you should be doing.

Here's another example of inactivity, I realize that not everyone is a fan of "Three's Company", but on facebook on the Antenna's wall after the news came out that "Three's Company, Three's a Crowd, and Too Close for Comfort" is going to go on the air, they had over 300 people that responded either postitive or negative about the shows. Here only about 6 responded.

because we are in a new era. Social Media is more popular than message boards which is why so many members post on Facebook instead of on here
