It would seem so. Many (most?) of the learned and in the know folks from SSP have jumped ship for other forums.

This is quite sad to see the decline of this forum. Where did everyone go? I’ve been coming and going for 20 odd years,
And I rarely post. But damn, it’s a ghost town

To be fair, the other forum has been dead too. There just isn't a lot going on right now.

SRC is almost never dead. The people jumped from here for good reason.

Everybody is here now

Yes, it's sad, and I resisted going to the other forum, but figured why should I miss out on what's going on. The other site is just like the old days of SSP, I mean it has all of the SSP members, plus lots of new members.

Not everybody.

Technically not everybody, there are a few people still in the airport and LRT thread, but in a general sense he’s right, everybody has left. As far as this construction thread goes he’s 100% right literally everybody has left. Pretty sad when there is only a half dozen posts in the last six months only to point out how dead the forum is.

I haven’t opened an account at SRC yet but that’s where I spend my time these days. I come here once in a while for the airport thread and that’s it. There’s no point otherwise.

The people who left here were extreme left wing liberals, which is the mindset over at Skyrise and why it doesn't come as a surprise they left. Over at SRC if somebody mentions anything remotely right wing, they get ganged up on, and that's the reason I never go there.

Ganged up on? Who’s getting ganged up on?

I agree SRC is left leaning, but hardly what I would call extreme left wingers.

Anyone who supports the UCP gets ganged up on. It happened just a few days ago in the Green Line thread. In the politics thread it happens all the time.

So I guess the key to a successful forum is less right wing nuts! hmm.

I thought liberals were the snowflakes?

I haven’t seen that in my experience, and I’m a regular visitor, but hey ad you mentioned, never go there so I guess you would know better than I would.

[davee930]

What about all the suburban single family house developments going on? There must be some nice ones out there??

I plug my nose and I go there once in a while, but I keep it as short as possible.

I like the term ‘libtards’ myself.
