Interference getting quieter?

[asunder]

I haven't logged in for quite a while until today. Am I right in thinking this forum is slowing down? People losing interest? Not so many people obsessing anymore?

Or am I wrong?

 

[bono_man2002]

A little bit of both. U2 haven't really put out anything new for 2 years so there isn't much interesting to talk about. All the hype will build once the next album is due.

 

[Galeongirl]

You should perhaps see different parts of the forum. EYKIW always goes a bit wonky when there's no new album to talk about. In about half a year we're going to get the countless threads about Bush adlibbing SBS and OMG ISNT THIS FUNNy stuff again.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

You can always go ahead and start a thread about Pop or Atomic Bomb.

 

[corianderstem]

I think most of the U2-related chatter is related to the tour forum right now, talking about the shows.

 

[asunder]

sorry, i nodded off there for a bit...

Glastonbury finished what little active interest I had left for this year's U2. No new material, no new surprises, not even any interesting screw-ups or slips of the tongue.

Call me when there's a single out.

 

[cobl04]

the thing is this is by far the best/most interesting thread in EYKIW in a long time.

The setlist party last night was pretty slow. It was my first one in a long time, but as was mentioned in the thread last night, it didn't hold a candle to the crazy ones back in 2005. Glory days!

 

[cobl04]

Spoiler

there's a reason i don't participate in the setlist parties any more, they were much more fun in 2005 #isitjustme?

I looked up an old "Pop" thread I was a part of a long time ago, and boy was that a classic. Also looked up some old Axver/Pero confrontations. I was rolling on the floor.

 

[asunder]

lets face it, its all a bit dull now...

 

[thejesu]

Nobody's fault but mine...

 

[Tiger Edge]

Well they banned a bunch of fun people...

I only piped up because my concert came and now went. I'll be leaving soon, like a beautiful butterfly!

 

[PhilsFan]

Who the hell is U2?

 

[BVS]

It's actually 'the 2'

 

[Sergiodino]

Great song man, great song. Can we talk about the Led Zeppelin songs that U2 covered?

I think the attitude some members haver here are a bit rude, U2starts forum has a much more nicer atomosphere. Havent seen any rude and cocky post there ever.

I prefer posting there

Yep, this place is getting more hostile than it used to be and I wonder sometimes if new members and new U2 fans are getting too scared to say anything or ask questions. I've seen several instances where a new member starts a thread about something and certain people immediately say things like, "Not another one of these threads!" or "This has been discussed a million times already." How are they supposed to know that it's been talked about before, and how are new fans ever going to learn new things if they get chastised for being curious? I don't see why it's so hard to politely answer their questions instead of acting like an elitist know-it-all.

 

[Galeongirl]

Very easy. Search function.

 

[Tiger Edge]

this old chestnut

some things don't change.









or is it ?

 

[corianderstem]

I don't understand why some people could just NOT respond at all, rather than taking the time to post something complaining about the thread.

If you're going to take the time to post, at least be helpful - answer the question or direct them to one of the existing threads. Or just leave it be.

This site can definitely be 'ruder' or more obnoxious than others, but for a variety of reasons, I do prefer it to the other forums out there.

 

[Purplereign]

^ what cori said . . . also, I'd imagine that facebook and twitter / tumblr has eaten away a little at the relevance of some threads ?

This is true, that forum is infinitely more pleasant to browse than here and it's getting nearly as active too.
