MM & Forumite similarities

[dwynnehugh]

As MM was in its death throngs there was a great deal of activity on the MM Forum – many threads that has been inactive for years suddenly came back to life – when Forumite started the take up was a bit slow (dual running with MM – so not surprising – especially for some of us it was a new learning curve).  Now that Forumite is the de facto forum, in the last couple of weeks there appears to be a marked reduction in traffic compared the few days post death of MM.

I may be wrong but I get that feeling. Hope I’m wrong as I would like Forumite to continue.

well i hadn’t been on the MM forum for years, perhaps even as far as Bulldozer days (when last i looked to build). Seems like its been reasonably active this past couple of weeks.

Don’t know what the progress of getting the old threads archived or moved over.

To be honest I think this as been livelier than mm was in the past few months of its days. MM was bound to be lively in its last few weeks. I compare it to a crime scene or road accident, rubber neckers stopping to get a glimpse.

Once I get the whole site complete I will start thinking about getting new users. How ever I’ll be keeping an eye out for the fanatics. I aint going to put up with cranks, not here! I dont want it turning into some of the flaming grounds found else were on the net. :negative:

I agree.

fresh look, and no longer tied to the magazine might keep this forum going, I seem to remember a lot of stuff in the MM forum became stagnant because we’d seen and read it and it.

p4 at 9.5 was one of the best this forum seems to have a wider spread already with wireless lights and mountain bikes which may well have been there on the MM forum but you don’t tend to go to a computer forum for advice on a mountain bike.

IMHO there is much more activity here, than compared to the “Real World” that MM forum had become before we all knew that it was defo an expired parrot. I know there were signs that all was not well for some time, but it appeared to be limping along OK until the official news broke.

I like Forumite: it’s much easier to use, at least for me, and with Lee the Godfather running it, it feels friendlier. :good: ?

He could always send the Heavies round to any new fanatics rocking the boat. B-)

Yes, discussion did get a bit too lively over e.g. Trump and the EU, but avoiding politics and religion is a wise course for us all. Stepping away from something that annoys is better than firing back, though I admit that I have been too quick to fire back in the past. I now want to avoid that for the future, it is not good for me and no one else wants that sort of flack either.

Lively discussion is all about good exchange of information and perhaps some informed views, though sticking to what helped one form one’s viewpoint rather than pushing that conclusion is a ‘best approach’. Everyone else will not have had the same life experiences as the rest of the group, so ‘group think’ should never be expected of anyone.

Still, I did not miss your little dig at Yorkshire in the other thread :yes:
