The effect of insipid on RF ...

It sometimes seems to me that vapid more frequently trends on RF -- that religiousforums use to be, on balance, more substantive. I find it mildly distasteful.​

I don't disagree. We used to be more of a community and had better, more in depth conversations here (different owner, different motive, different times).
But we're both still here.

You're both wrong. RF is better today than
in years past because of some reforms.
But it's against the rules to explain how this is.

There no rule against noting the
improvement coincided with my arrival.

Your arrival & enduring contributions
are more of a symptom of reform.

"Insipid" and "vapid" are adjectives. Perhaps you could throw a noun in to help us.

Should we be angrier, do you think?

Should we SHOUT MORE,perhaps ?

Use only colorful language?

Or icy contempt and superciliousness?

What needs to change?

I find RF interesting because you get to joke, chat, discuss and argue on a variety of subjects with all types of people, even those who find RF insipid and who like to rant.

New mods anyone?

....even those who find RF insipid and who like to rant.

We choose what we see here.
Perhaps some people should just
stop reading certain posters.

The old ones are getting a bit shopworn.

Tha's a good point, but then so are many of the members. How about the owners?

They're brand new....only a few years old.
(I don't know who they are, but there was regime change.)

I never expected to get a <funny> rating for this post.
It's entirely serious. But now I can see what they mean.

You mean the owners are unknown, could we be dealing with one of the alphabet agencies?

Let's approach Elon Musk to buy them out!

They'd never bother with an insignificant little pipsqueak like RF.

Musk owning RF?
Ew!
But he could post here.
It would be entertaining.

Hey! I resemble that remark.

Musk owning RF?
Ew

Wow. We'd finally get all of the bugs fixed...

I'm not being serious, but I do prefer openness as a matter of principle.

If Musk bought in, the mod's cushy life styles would be on dangerous turf given his scorched earth policy with Twitter!
