Only social discussion i have on the board these days is about wrestling
yeah wrestling topic is another good example of one very narrow, specific discussion topic that a small and generally fixed group of people still post in. but like, how often do you see those people make general topics or posts outside of the wrestling topics, you know? I guess that illustrates my point

Hm. I need to start posting more >_>
I think everyone needs to start posting more again. we've all become a board full of lurkers as of late it seems.

I think most of us have just started casually talking to board 8ers off the board now.
this is part of the cause of the issue in my opinion. a lot of the casual/social discussion has moved off of the board onto aim or into chats and so people just interact with each other that way instead of making topics. PMs probably don't help either (though I don't know if anyone uses them a lot) since they eliminate the need for even ATTN topics.
and like I was saying before in response to TimJab, a lot of the discussion that was left behind is basically fragmented into specific social groups that don't interact with the general board populace much anymore
