Rekindling

How do you get back "into" a forum. I can't seem to be constant in any of the forums I post on (better yet REGISTER for). I don't want to say it's lack of dedication or time...but I think it is. And sometimes this stuff, the content, just becomes boring. Is there a way to rekindle the forum fire or is it time I moved on?

Just chill for a bit. moving on may well be your problem. For all it's immediacy and impersonality, the bb-side of the internet is at it's best (and worst) when you find a group who've been together a while and have moved below the surface. But such groups take time to penetrate, evaluate and infiltrate.

ooh, I said penetrate... teehee

some thoughts:

introduce a controversy
play the devil's advocate
make an ass of yourself
attempt to redeem yourself
reveal your deepest thoughts
post via stream-of-conciousness

...

You're right, though, it's time and dedication, just like any relationship. Don't join more forums than you have time to participate in. I assume you meant you join multiple forums. If you meant you lose interest one at a time, then... maybe you just don't like internet forums.

Kidding aside, I suppose you'd post once. Then post twice. That's pretty much how I do it.
