There is always something to discuss and the main forums are pretty much like a really big private group. Unlike most of the groups on the site there is a lot more activity here than in the groups. Not to toot Harlow's horn for him or anything, but the third most active forum on this whole site is a private group. Possibly second-most by now, actually. Should overtake the Septagon in terms of total posts pretty soon, too.
And besides, I don't think the increased activity of, say, the Flood is always a point in its favour, given that the same thread can be made five times in one day when enough people decide to jump on a popular topic. Signal-to-noise ratio isn't great.
I still participate in the mains (obviously!), I'm just very aware of their shortcomings, and I do it in the knowledge that in terms of quality forums, there are better places on this site to go.Sapphire != the norm among private groups and therefore if you don't like the Sapphire community, you can't participate in this outlier in PG activity, making your counterpoint to Mr. Weird, Ph.D. null and void.
