Ah. So according to the Flood, this thread is more interesting then, say, this thread? That really does not seem right.
It's hard to argue with the results though. One got more traffic than the other. Now we each can look at make our own personal judgments as to which is more interesting or valuable to us, but people taking the time to reply are people who are also saying what interests them.
Unfortunately, yes.

Quite hard to "improve" the content.
Hard? Sure.
Impossible? Not necessarily. But it could be an uphill climb.
Making and finding threads that are of interest to you is a personal quest. Replying in them, encouraging their growth and continuation, it's all that any member can do. We're each a single member in a sea of others. Every person deserves (within reasonable limits) to do what is of interest to them.
There's no way to make any of our forums perfect in the eyes on one person, they are a group effort and as such will always have variety, diversity and exceptions.
Ah. Yes, I suppose so. Interesting way to look at it. But of course, it seems to me like the average member likes the content that is there already. Which is unfortunate for certain people.

I could create a thread of interest to myself, but if it is of no interest (or little interest) to others, then yes, it will get "shot down". With the exception of spamming/flooding, the condition and "quality" of any fourm's threads is a direct reflection of the interest and participation of the people using that forum. It's impossible to separate the two.
Ah. So according to the Flood, this thread is more interesting then, say, this thread? That really does not seem right.It doesn't seem right to you, but apparently it seems right to the majority of the people in The Flood. And that is the problem, if I start locking all of the threads to satisfy the "few", I have to deal with the complaining of the "many". Hell, you can't even imagine all of the crap I'm getting for being more strict in The Classifieds. And that's The Classifieds!
It seems that in some threads, it is only a few members replying to the thread and keeping it alive though. And it is usually spam like "*throws shovel*" But I suppose that is not going to change in the Flood anytime soon.
