I miss FCF

[Steve Epley]

Not to put down this forum I enjoy it but there were so many different participators on FCF. The views were so broad and the discussions were very lively. Many of those who posted there often very seldom come here both libs & cons. That chemistry so far has not been matched in my opinion.

I miss gasoline at $1.00 a gallon too, but it's not coming back.

Make the best of your situation.

Now why would we take that as a put down on this forum?

You have only stated that...

• Views here are comparatively narrow.
• The discussions are not as lively.
• Those who provided the broad and lively discussion don't come here.
• The chemistry here is a lesser one.

Now why would anyone take that as a put down?

I know! It has never been matched nor ever will be again I don't guess.

Discussion here isn't the same because certain dynamics are created when you have a particular mix of posters with varying degrees of intellectual ability, temperaments, intelligence, experience, etc. that are missing now.

But then we can compare, Bro. Epley, while many here who have joined these forums after the demise of FCF can't.

I think this forum is whatever we decide to make it.

I think "part" of it is that the same things are being discussed now that was discuss then and the "new" has worn off. JMO

Yes, and fine upstanding relationships formed. It was a great place.

This forum is what it is. There's nothing particularly wrong with it. It's just that it's not FCF and we don't expect it to be really. Just miss the level, intensity and excitement of posting that took place there. Some of us can compare and it's hard to not make the comparison.

Doesn't mean we're dissing this forum - not at all.

Maybe we could bring LarryBoy outta retirement to "spice" things up again???
