It's definitely you Blondey
Just teasing, hiya Blondey
The way I see it is that very few of the Minglers who started threads with intellectual topics, or threads that stuck around for a while, are still here. A lot of them have left. New people, new interests.
From looking at the recent posts, it would appear that the interest is to pass time playing games. Not that that's a bad thing, I do it myself. It just is what it is. And for some of us, it's fun. Like getting together with a group of people to play board games. For me, it's a way of unwinding and having a few laughs, giving my brain a break from the face to face world.
Lately, a lot of the new topics that have potential for deeper, humorous, or intellectual discussions haven't lasted. Or have the same two or three people interacting with no one else chiming in. They can only say so much before the thread dies out.
It might be kind of silly, but maybe we could start a thread asking everyone what intellectual or humorous topics they like to discuss. Then those who are interested in starting a new thread will then have an idea of what the general population is interested in discussing.
