A Penny for Your Thoughts

Hmm. I agree with what you're saying, Vincent. And you've got me thinking.

Once, a Forge member could easily read or at least skim every single thread. Now with the volume of posts it's just not possible. As a result, saying something in a single thread will only reach a small percentage of the membership, where once it could be expected to be read by the majority of the community. A single post can't reach enough of the membership to have a Forge-wide impact. As a result, building theory and concensus over time is no longer possible; the whole process is too fragmented to bear cohesive fruit. Furthermore, when one is less able to "make a difference" if you will, the incentive to participate decreases.
This reminds me...
