This Forum Better than the Rest?

Do you think this is a good or the best forum? Why is this forum better or worse? Participation? Fun discussions? Sharing comics? Writers teasers? Moderation? Do you find this valuable?

I visit three forums and this one is honestly the least I look forward to for good thought provoking discussions of the show. To chat about stupid or random things, this is a good forum but it's too cluttered with trivial threads that I've got to weed through to get to the good ones. 4  out of 7 found this valuable.

As much as this forum has been going down the drain lately, it's still the most active Terminator forum.

We have a TSCC thread on the Scifi forum, it's just one thread but the discussion is usually pretty good.

Most active doesn't necessarily mean the most productive or the best. .

It's a good forum, better than the Fox one.

Another great show, it's had some ups and downs but I still love it too.

BSG is great, you just have to ignore a couple episodes here and there. I'm excited they will finally be able to air the rest of the series. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I'm very excited that there's going to be an *ending*, I hate when shows either get canceled and you never know what happened or they run on so long that you don't really care.

There are other TSCC wiki forums? :-)

I visit other TSCC forums to see what they are not talking about, which is plenty. We attempt to report anything Terminator-related or TSCC-related before other sites do, and are usually successful more times than not. Days and even weeks later, other forums are reporting/posting info that has already been posted/talked about here, and fallen to page 22 on our forum.

As for thought provoking discussions, I find there are plenty here, but as others have stated, you have to weed through the clutter to get to the good stuff. Kind of like peeling away the skin on a banana or orange to get to the good part. Not every discussion should/can be thought-provoking, otherwise this would be a boring wiki. I am sure other wiki's have trivial threads.

What's interesting though, the most important threads over time rise to the top and remain there.

These were the threads on page 1 at 10:15am EST on 12/21/08. I only see three (1st, Keanu, and last) threads that would not generate any thought provoking discussions:

Club Lonely Hearts--Come in, have a drink
Kyle Reese Return
Unanswered Questions So Far
Cameron is Skynet
What Can the Writers do to save JC from EMO on the back
Why Did Jesse Treat Riley Like Crap??
Terminator Technology
How Does John Know Everything
TSCC Macro Thread
Summary of Good Wound Spoilers
What Happened to Cheri Westin
Jealous Summer Pic
question My Husband Had about Guns & Terms
Where is "present" Riley?
OT: Keanu Reeves involved in a live action version of "Cowboy Bebop"
GO (game) and Cameron's Reprogramming
Don't Overlook the central theme of episode 13
Official TSCC Episode 13: "Earthings Welcomed Here" Thread
History Lesson
Petition - Samantha Krutzfeldt - Bring Back Lauren

When I first joined (halfway through the first leg of this season) there were a lot of really good threads. I gained so much from talking about the show. But since then, the quality of the wiki has degraded, and I think the stand alone episodes are responsible for a large part of that. As good as the episodes are, they don't do much for the progression of the story or answering the questions. Talking about new theories and solving the mysteries are the reasons I signed up in the first place... The standalone episodes don't contribute to that. They also seem to confuse some people or make people dig deeper into things than they should, and hence you get some pretty useless threads. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I forgot to say that I like the wiki regardless. I'm sure that once the show gets back on the air, the quality of the wiki will improve.

The lack of an edit button is frustrating though...

Trivial stuff, huh?

Like Riley's bruise that migrated from her left temple where Jesse whacked her and John showed his true concern to the right side when she looked in the mirror???

And I hope we can see an ending to the TSCC series - a resolution, instead of just being cancelled.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering about besides chatter. Tech tools, art, fiction etc.

It's a bonus we have the longest wiki thread ever and we're the 3rd biggest Wetpaint site!
