life span on ei.

[OnlyMe]

Well as for me, I've been on for more than 4 years now, though my number of posts may reflect the fact that I don't spend large amounts of time posting on the forum. I probably had less than a dozen posts in my first year here, and I honestly avoided posting (though I was a prolific reader of the posts/forum) as there were quite a few bullies and trolls back in the old days, before there were mods. I'd picked up the posting right around the time when mods came in, and a few of the old bullies of legend were banned.

I suppose I've also mostly restricted myself to posting when I have something on my mind, or when I feel I have something relevant to add to a conversation. I'll also post occasionally on the odd 'Congrats' thread, but not always.

For me, I think the biggest thing that has keet me from getting put off and quitting the site is AVOIDING ARGUMENTS; I often try to read through a topic/issue that's under heated debate to understand the argument, but do my absolute best to NOT GET INVOLVED. I keep my opinions on all that stuff to myself, and that way you don't make any enemies. I'd probably disappear from posting very quickly as well if I had people jumping all over anything/everything I said on any topic, just because they're upset with me about something else I did/said about another issue.

So my advice? Keep it civil, avoid arguments as best you can, or at least keep it from getting personal if a difference of opinion does arise. Show respect for the others on the site, and most of them will show you the same respect back.

I agree to a point. I keep it civil, but still it is obvious that many topics are taboo here. Fitting in doesn't make for a interesting or balanced debate. Why can we not have both?

Well I have not been here very long but the only prolems I have had have been generated by mods. Everyone else has been very nice.

Hey just wondering if there is an average life span of an EI forum member.

People come and go all the time but whats the average staying time.
How long does it take for them to get pissed off and say feck i'm out of here.
Who is here the longest aswell.

Apart from Patricia(Boss Lady) and Natasha(Super Moderator these appear to be the longest active members, although the first two are not exactly prolific posters.

Good advice cable, I personally don't mind getting stuck into the thick of it but I do try to show respect but unfortunately some don't deserve it, well one for sure.
2008 seems to have been a good year for new members, a good core group of people, some still post, others stay in the shadows but are still about.. Like cable I joined around 05-06 but didn't post at all as it was just a fleeting interest, I then came back to the site in 07 and re-registered in '08 as I have no idea what i originally registered as or even the email address I gave

Well Mr H, like what?
The only trouble I see here is from a select few little hitlers that think the only good opinion is their opinion and just want to shout you down without a valid debate.
