Why many people is out from Petpicher forum?

[sooxiwei]

just when the information start slowing down...people go for other forum...

it's a cycle, a bad cycle, when the top guns in the forum started to slow down with some reasons like lacking time, have other commitment, or having cp as a compliment item to other main plant, the input of new information will decrease, as for newbie, when info is lacking, they go for other forum for info

also, being a "cp" forum, nepenthes section seems to be the only section that is active, others like ping, ultric and so on seems a bit cool down

can we have color change for forum pls, black and oranje makes my eyes sore after staring at it for more than 30 minutes, sorry for that

Black colour is energy saving, for the planet and CPs!!!

Well nep forum is most active cause neps are native in malaysia and SEA so its easier to grow them and also mostly grown.

I have too many hobbies. I jump from gaming/animating/3D-modeling forum to Plants forum and then to Papercraft blogs.

My personal take on this is that neps are popular because they're not just easy to grow, but are also large and very showy. Its not just malaysia and SEA, but in overseas forums neps are very popular too and its those sections of CP forums that generally have the most activity. Same goes for Sarracenia for overseas forums - easy to grow in their climate and also large and showy.

Compare this to the much less popular stuff: Utrics mostly look like pond scum when not in bloom, with a few exceptions, while many Pings are tiny and/or look relatively normal.

Its a pity that the forum is relatively quiet, but at the same time, I'm glad for the lack of politics and that kind of stuff on this forum.

Ifurita, I second your thoughts.

hye..
i came from other forum..
and i have join a lot of forums before, and also made my own forum of Astral Projection (check the link at my signature)...
my thought is:

people out of this forum because:

1. have joined other forum, for new hobby like looking after pets..
2. facebooking!
3. it is because of time..
4. few of replies in threads, so people get bored..
5. few of new info..

just my 30 cent opinion..

too little post ...

[emperorsnakehead]

i am totally agree with that..i prefer 'replies' than 'post'..
