Why is this forum so dull?

I managed to learn a lot on here, and it is nice just to see what others are doing or having problems with doing on their cars. Also with the 5.0 just being in its second MY most people are still under warranty. At that point not too many are willing to go nuts with the power adders and such so we won't be seeing too much of those for a little while. Yes there are a few on here already applying boost to their GTs, but me personally will wait till my warranty runs out. After that you'll see a lot of power mods from me.

Okay, I know im doing the same thing im preaching...but it needs to be said...
When I first joined this forum, there was a lot of interesting activity....it seems as though all of that has been lost and all this forum is good for is reading about complaints about this car, and nothing else...
It's sad really, because everytime I log on..the first page is filled with "my tranny sucks" or "my car isn't here yet"....I think we all get the point...if you guys want to complain...stick to one topic in one thread (call it the complaint thread) so we don't have to search through all these topics whioch are EXACTLY the same..don't make 50 differant topics on the same stupid complaints.
This honestly is the only forum i've ever seen that has no good reading on anything other than tranny issues and how to get a car faster from a dealer...
I've started lurking over at allfordmustangs...and to be honest...at least they have a couple more interesting topics...come on guys..enough with the bull****...we're all sick of hearing it

One of the reasons it's NOT so active is precisely what everyone has said -- no name calling, childish behavior allowed (well, very minimal amounts). Those tend to eat up alot of page space, and while there's more stupid and useless posts, there's not as good of the useful info alot of us are on here for.
Just look in the GT mods sections, still quite active. yeah, not as much 'new' or exciting, but the cars have been around for 6+ years now, so you have to expect that.
The Boss forums will be increasing in activity as the mods available for that increase (though maybe it's not so mod friendly being already so well tuned??)
I've had waxing/waning activity on here as well, and do notice more activity during the winter when alot of us can't even drive the cars, so all we can do is think and dream and mess with all the little things. Summer's for driving, though...

It's just getting ridiculous with the amoutn of threads about the same thing in the particular sub forum (2010+) and something needs to be done to keep all the duplicate threads in the same place.
It gets discouraging to all owners when they come on a forum for the first time and teh first thing they see is "my car sucks"..."this and that is wrong"...especially when its the same problem is 5 diff threads on the same page....
I know that when people come on forums, your going to see the cons of a car more than the pro's...and the problems are going to be posted...because why wpould you post about something thats working fine right? lol...Have a subsection for "Complaints/Issues"

I see a lot of active content when I click on "New Posts". I don't think one can assume the newest Mustangs are "bad" because of a single mechanical issue that seems to affect enough people here (or other forums) that is repeatedly posted so much that it "appears" bad.
And by the way, I think technically posting about why the forum is dull probably would also fit in "Off Topic Chatter" as suggested by someone else
It's cause I havent been on in a while......
