I agree with both of you @the-old-coach & @Loraine . I remember when there were so many “ready and willing to help” type of people active in the Forums when I first started TAC. They were all so very encouraging and supportive of newbies as well as each other. I could go on and on about how great the old Forums were (and the old rendition of TAC for that matter) compared to what they are today. I believe the “change over” (late March of 2021) from “Old to Current TAC Rendition” caused a lot of active people to leave, not just the Forums, but TAC altogether. Why? Because they didn’t like the “Current Rendition” – philosophy based content verses the “Old” performance/social based content – just MHO. Then their were the “TAC Post Police” (just a name I’m calling it), but Loraine knows what I’m referring to – a very unfortunate time in the life of this current TAC rendition. I almost quit at that time, but decided to wait, and get closer to my TACiversary before making that decision. I’m glad I decided to stay, but I’m definitely not “thrilled” with this current rendition.
So to your statement, Mark, about fewer people participating in the Forums, my 2 cents on the causes:
1) The limited scope of Forum topics
2) The lack of encouragement from Tony & TAC to participate in the Forums
I could list a few other possible “causes”, but they would just boil down to one or the other of the 2 points I made above. Feel free to respond, maybe you have some more thoughts on my “causes list”, I’d be happy to hear them.
