Well then feel free to complain about that part of the forum but the fact that you don't even know which section of the forum your ire should be directed at speaks volumes tbh.

You assuming it's the chat thread holds no water.

I'm discussing MY experiences posting in SD and why I believe it had the atmosphere and reputation it has. You seem to be trying to shift focus to the chat thread specifically but not through any experience but through assumptions you're making on leaving threads.

The only one I recall recently was BBUK-FAN and I rarely see him in private chat. He tends to be in the BB/TV show sections from what I've seen.
