Sticky threads vs. Active topics
There are currently, prior to this thread, 6 stickies and 7 threads with activity in the last month that are displaying when I view this forum. Aside from the off topic and spotted threads, there's nothing going on in Western!?! What are the rest of you guys doing online? I literally feel like I've reached the internet seven times over. I never thought I'd feel that way EVER, but I've seen it all now!

Re: Sticky threads vs. Active topics
Well how many active members of Western are there truly? If you look in the stickies I'd be willing to bet that 90% of recent contributions (let's say within the last 6 months) are made by less than 20 different people. I think it also has a lot to do with not having a major city in Western. Central has Richmond, 757 has VaBeach obviously, and NoVa has the entire DMV area. What do we have? Roanoke? Even on a good day not a whole hell of a lot happens on the western end of Virginia. I has a sad.

Re: Sticky threads vs. Active topics
I'd disagree that not much happens in western VA.. Roanoke, specifically, even.
Do you ever watch the news? It's disheartening most of the time, but murders, robberies, etc are so common now that they're mentioned under their breath in between other news topics.. "in other news, a three year old was found in a dumpster this morning. police are investigating.. now to robin reed for the weather. how's it looking out there today robin?" I know what you're saying though. A lot of the news (though mostly bad) is irrelevant to discussion here, but there's plenty going on. There's enough going on to have more chatter that doesn't have to be summed up by an off topic thread IMO.

Theres like 10 people in this section, and even when there was more activity, it was all stupid fender rolling threads anyway. But hey, it's western. I'm surprised there's not more members from hburg really.

Re: Sticky threads vs. Active topics
The only reason it bothers me that it's dead is because a lot of people in this region have come and gone. We used to have quite a few active posters. We probably lost 30 members over the years, if not more.
