I'm seriously at a loss for what can or should be done now to say to this member "Look there are all kinds of discussions happening!" and provide some links as a starting point. Not even bothering to check out existing music and other active discussions, and then coming here to complain about the lack of conversations happening, is crazy.
There is a ridiculous amount of white knighting going on in this thread. It's really getting old now, and it's not effective. Tore and Erica, I love you both, but I think you are both seeing this issue through rose coloured glasses.

I didn't like his attitude and some of the things he said which I thought was aimed at Trollheart. The part about "...and you want a medal?" and there was another part about "patting themselves on the back" which I can't find... (maybe it was deleted?) Now I didn't see TH respond to them so I don't know if he picked on them or wasn't phased by them, either way reading through that thread when I got up to that part it was a bit anticlimactic for me to read. I found a bit insulting because those comments seemed to be aimed at TH. I can not speak for everyone so... in my point of veiw is that Trollheart works hard to keep producing his journals. It does takes time and effort to make them, and I didn't like cavalier attitude (not towards the journal) but towards Trollheart, and his efforts in making them. TH did go on to defend the journal section journal section. Which I am glad he did. Still begs the question how can sopsych demand forum change, and not appreciate the time and effort that members like Trollheart put into the forum?
It seems to blow a hole in his argument that the forum isn't friendly enough and there needs to be some drastic change... if he's not being friendly himself.

I do not know how many people currently post to that section - mods could more easily research that than I could - but it ought to be less than the number in General Music. ("Ought to" because Journals are inherently clique-oriented.) I'm going to make another assertion - that Journals have virtually no impact on whether new members became regular contributors to the site. (Lots of people patting themselves on the back for something that in practice doesn't address the gist of Duga's complaint.)
So, I'm wrong about a very minor point that's hardly related to site atmosphere, and you want a medal? How many people have joined this week, been turned off by the types of discussion they've seen, and probably never will return?
Well, okay, on a positive note, some nasty posts were deleted from this thread.

@ Tore you are smart enough to go on and present your own views without mentioning him, because when you do he is making you his sock-puppet-by-proxy.
Verstehen?
