    Just to play devil's advocate...

    I had the most posts of anybody in that thread, and I was very rarely responded to. When I wanted attention, I started threads.

    thats what im saying.. there were times i'd post something and then go to bed and by the time i checked again it was 10 pages deeper.. so i didnt even SEE if people responded to me and i didnt care because if i were looking for a response i wouldve gone about it a different way. i think that often times people missed a lot of posts because they were gone for a few hours and 5 pages popped up, so they didnt even read it. it was hard to go back and look for things.

    haha, kind of related, but like when someone DID respond to me, i felt stupid making another post just to say "lol" or whatever. you know? like when LJ said she was really a 12 year old boy with missing balls.. i laughed.. but i didnt make a post about it just for a smiley face or something because i had nothing else to say and i wasnt feeling creative that day.

    maybe it's just that I only visited it about once a week and I just didn't really "get" how it worked. But I felt that every time I wrote something I was kind of ignored. Anyhoo im glad to know it wasn't just me

    I never notice these 'cliques' that occasionally get brought up, and I don't think that I am in them/it.

    Whatever. I'll miss TRT.

    I think some posts in TRT got missed or over looked (as opposed to ignored) because TRT just moved so fast. I posted there a fair bit and some of the posts got no responses whilst others didnt.

    Seriously! I read every single post in TRT, but since I was gone for like 18 hours because of sleep/work, sometimes it made no sense to respond since it was already discussed and over with by the time I got around to reading it!

    For some reason this reminds me of the thread killer thread. It would appear as though the person who posted last in TRT would be the ultimate thread killer, lol.

    NO. This is not the new random thread. There will not be a new random thread.

    This thread is just to pay our respects to TRT.

    If we stray off topic, it will likely get closed like the others.

    I will miss the random thread, it was like chat only you didn't have to stay there....

    .

    I have to agree, and it will be missed. I think in the end it was also spreading faster than it could be handled. Sometimes 10 pages would pass in a day, maybe more. I never really kept track but it did move at a rapid pace.

    The random thread, also ate a lot of threads that would just die due to lack of replies. If your thread bombs in the lounge, it does not take that long for it to be swept under by the amount of new threads/posts.

    Have fun people. Take care of yourself and each-other.

    Without TRT, it will be much harder for my boyfriend to stalk me. He'll actually have to open and read multiple threads instead of just one. All that extra work might make his brain explode!

    The TV show Cops is good for that too. At first I thought the whole random thread thread got deleted, and people would lose their post count.

    I think certain groups of friends did post there (us Jerz people for one), but I also think friendships formed because of it. I will miss it.

    darcy, i'm curious, then, since apparently i'm so wrong. please explain to me why anyone should be responded to in a thread meant for random thoughts. i honestly, 100% cannot understand that.

    Me too. I'm not in Noo Jerz but I liked it.
    It let me be all stalkerish without anyone catching on. Cliques? Drama? Ignoring? Pshaw... we're all adults. Can't we act like them? Just a little?


    I do feel a little bad it was sucking up so much bandwith or whatever though.

    Yeah mine too. And that's a 6 foot in the air head, here.

    At the risk of being redundant, I maintain my opinion that if there was a symptom of a problem in Random (e.g. cliqueiness, people feeling like their posts are overlooked, trolls), then it will manifest throughout the entire forum. Random was one location. I see several people who post threads that get maybe one or two replies. I've done it myself. If people don't respond, they don't respond. Likewise with cliques--they'll threadjack and and offer cookies and whatever on any thread on the forum. And trolls are definitely not limited to a location.

    I still feel that closing Random was addressing symptoms, not a problem. I predict that we will continue to see the same issues, hear the same complaints about "this isn't like how it used to be," and people will come and people will go. But there will be more (banal) threads to come and go on.
