No offense to anyone but I think it's worth mentioning. It's maybe in our Lebanese nature but I noticed it during the last few weeks where I was slightly away from the forum.
I really think our small forum and community is a reflection of our Lebanese society. Whenever there is a controversial topic the forum seems overly active (such as the PvD review topic or the Ayam festival) and everyone is eager to share his point of view on the issue at hand, and that immediately reflects to the forum as all, since people automatically feel compelled to check other topics and give out their opinion. But lately it seems that since there is no event worth mentioning and with the emo activity calming down a tad the forum is taking a little vacation. Music discussions are nice but do not stir up the people's feelings as much as the Kaka transfer saga. No one disagrees that some people are maybe out-growing the whole forum thingy (except Bronko, Q and NS, you guys are an inspiration ), but every once in a while, it looks like we need some heated arguments to jump start things again. Now I am not in favor of rubbing it in people's faces and trash one another but let's face it, we Lebanese feed off human misery (some of us ), and controversy is what we love most.
To sum things up I know the forum will wake up yet again, but since most of us members are hard workers and our bosses monitor our internet connections, our availability is limited but we shall be back (I'm here aren't I?? )
