Topic: Most "active" forums?

Sol, would it be possible to add an enhancement that shows the most active forums? Given the many groups, there are many forums that aren't used. There's really no good way to quickly find "active" forums. I leave the definition of "active" to your imagination.

Thanks
Dirk

Re: Most "active" forums?

You're not interested in knowing which forums are most active? I rely on active forums to bounce ideas off other writers. One of our latest new members is also looking for active forums for her historical fiction project. Even my favorite haunt, Medieval Fantasy/Magic, is increasingly quiet. I don't want to use Premium for brainstorming threads because they get derailed too easily.

Even including the last forum posting date when browsing through groups would suffice. Saves having to drill into each group to do it manually. It's an extra piece of text on an existing screen. There's lots of room for it on the screen.

Sol could probably code it in less time than it took me to write this response.

You: You're not interested in knowing which forums are most active?
Me: I’d rather chew rusty nails.

Dirk, surely you know this the most popular forum on the site—by far (and without your comments or those instigated by your questions, it would be far less so - that’s not judgement, just a fact).
If  you need proof, go to the forum page, and just scan through activity.  It’s a graveyard.

If you crave forum action or social connection, try reddit

This site is predominantly populated by 1. people wanting their work critiqued, 2) pathetic wannabe serial editors, such as yours truly *courtesies*, 3) thousands of inactive members (+99%, if you compare membership to posting activity), 4) a handful of folks who live on line and who have nothing better to do.

And then there’s Dirk.  And you, dearest, are nonpareil.

We finally agree on something. :-)
