How can this thread be more interesting?

Way back when CT first started, "General chat" was one of the most interesting and stimulating threads on the Forum.  Today it is far from that,- so what can we do to make it more interesting  than "What are you all up to?"  I realise that the thread is fairly well used, but surely there are many more stimulating subjects than that?  - And before the usual residents of Trollhatten pitch in, No I am not suggesting that we return to the bad old days of abuse and personal insults, - I totally reject that concept too.  But for heavens sake surely we can make it more interesting than this.  Just look at the rate of posting, very often several days pass between anyone making a post!

Plenty of interesting thread on GC from recycling to naked gardening day and everything between.  I think folk will start new posts if and when they feel like it.  I'm more than happy to read what peeps have to say and respond to the chit chat on here.

Well, TF, you can start a thread on a topic that interests you and, if it interests others, they’ll join in and you’ll have a winner. 👍🏻

What do you have in mind TF, what would you like to see discussed?

Don't wait for someone else to start an interesting discussion, jump in and see what the response is. We are all different in what makes a riveting discussion, so you might hit the jackpot and get over a thousand pages.

 

Bear in mind that the members who joined in to lively discussions have moved on, not rejoined or sadly passed away. Many names have disappeared since I joined Club Together.

Cariadon,

To be perfectly honest I really don't have anything in particular I wanted to raise, and anyway why feed the Trolls?  

I have been away for a while and just looked back in to see how the Forum was,  sadly I have found it less friendly than before, and not an arena where you can say what you think, without it being dissected and dismissed out of hand, by those who disagree. 

How is Carmarthenshire fairing these days? I was originally from Pembroke, so we mainly pass through Carmarthen on our Holidays.  I expect its still a bit soggy there, I know that Pembrokeshire is.  The West Coast seems to be getting more than its fair share of the wet stuff this year.  But so has Cornwall, another favourite spot, so we are unsure where to go for what will probably be our last year Caravanning.

You must be more sensitive than me TF, recently I've felt that the GC threads have, by and large, been a pretty friendly.smile  

There are some threads on CT that from time to time become a little tense probably because we all have differing and in some cases strong views.  

Personally I'm happy to rub along in this fashion, if I'm looking for excitement I can usually find it in other wayssurprisedwink

Carmarthenshire / Pembrokeshire have had very mixed weather, one day rain, then hot sunshine, then cold and grey. but still as beautiful as ever. I do remember that you mentioned a few years back that you were born / raised at Robertson W. We tend to visit or stay in Ceredigion and Mid Wales as OH was stationed in Pembrokeshire

I agree that trolls tend to hijack a thread that is getting too popular or if it's started by somebody that's not part of their circle.
