I thought this forum holds the cards for numbers and variety, but one of the main turnoffs is the number of threads running under one topic, and the length of some threads. Its boring and people cannot be bothered sifting through it, let alone keeping track of their posts.
The solution is to encourage shorter posts, to the point,
The other problems are, that sciforums allows your name and comments to be listed publically on google for eg.
Also posts sometimes need editing or complete removal later on, which is not allowed. It is a one way street that leads into a maze.
And some of the moderators are too inexperienced in older forms of science like natural philosophy, and have little knowledge of alternatives like new age.
It would be interesting if the starter of a thread could delete and clean up that thread of unwanted posts.
