It is a shame. FR used to be really impressive, with enough good minds and good debaters (and often people directly or closely involved with the story or the location to give it real context) that it was extremely educational. Now, it doesn’t have a tenth of that anymore... but it’s still worth hanging around, as long as you’re good at ignoring the posts that are a waste of bandwidth.

FR used to be really impressive, with enough good minds and good debaters (and often people directly or closely involved with the story or the location to give it real context) that it was extremely educational.

So you find FR to be unimpressive, full of weak minds and poor
debaters not in the least connected with the story or location.

Can you provide serial examples?

Now, it doesn’t have a tenth of that anymore... but it’s still worth hanging around

Based upon what data? Posts that YOU dislike?
Let's have a sample of those as well.

as long as you’re good at ignoring the posts that are a waste of bandwidth.

Once again.. examples, please.

I don’t know I thought the pic of the monkey holding the chicken was pretty educational. :-)

Yes, the AYBABTU threads were a zenith of intellectual achievement.

PS: You’re a n00b ;)
