Forum Improvements?

[Chris In Marshfield]

Chris Ownens. I think both subject and amount. For instance if one was at Airventuere there are fourms of many kinds and all sorts of things to hear, more than you can do But. Of the 16 topics on the fourum 11 dont have anytghikn current ,some from months ago. some are good but very limited. One is 31 posts total since started one is 230 total I think, solidworks may be a strong interst for a few people. Very little applies to anythng for all of us.. Some big topics from the past were ATC privitation, FAA charges to EAA etc, discussios of night air show, etc.Whats the best topic you see today? Ill best Franks on building a Nueport 11 is pretty good.
If 20 pilots sat down at the bar at Hilton what would you talk about? Which is the best cotter key? Did you know if you use 1/2 cotter keys instead of 9/16 in your homebulit it can be 11 ounces lighter and climb an inch per minute faster?

Also, I tend to be a "spontaneous poster". If it's on my mind now, I like to discuss it. If I'm at Airventure, for example, I'll share things that I notice on social media as soon as I see it. However, I really have to want to be on a forum at that point. And by the time I get settled to the point that I would have the capacity to post something with substance, the moment has passed. Granted, I could post spur-of-the-moment things to this forum via Tapatalk from my mobile device. But if I want to have a thorough and meaningful discussion, then I have find decent wifi on the grounds, crank up my laptop, etc. Not many folks (in my age bracket, anyway) like to type out long, wordy diatribes on a mobile keyboard.

Another sign-of-the-times moment, I reckon. I don't technically qualify as a Millennial type, but I sure do have those tendencies
