I was referring to "this" forum.Guess you are viewing a different one than I am because I just see a big empty.
I think a forum can have and support both, civility/positivity, and still manage to muster up some interesting content, and, lively discussions.we should be less concerned with civility and "positivity" and more with making interesting content and lively discussion. That is what drives traffic. If you want to run it like a **** prison camp, just visit some other forums and you'll see they strangle them being overly concerned with whether someone is offended by an off-hand remark than if the post is valuable.
