Why no more good threads?
The Off-topic section used to have plenty of good threads. I know @evilcheadar and I don't post as much as we used to, but it's a bit sad to see how few legitimately good threads there are in this section. Can't anybody step up and save the off-topic section?

Re: Why no more good threads?
This is a good thread.
The answer is because most serious strategy threads died out and its prominent posters left or started posting less when off topic started to become the primary asset of an aoe3 gaming forum. The first few months of this forum featured only aoe3 talk and it was a great experience. I learned lots of stuff that I didn't know before and people were actively posting replays, not for the sake of bragging (well, mostly), but to improve their gameplay or help others.

This. That being said, I really enjoy the content recently. Talk about the meta, EP, different playstyles, unviable livestock/politician talk, new tournament formats and of course the good old bug vs feature vs cheat discussion.

You are distorting this board's history. Off topic has always been a serious asset to this community.

Off topic should have been the primary focus of this entire website

these threads you are referring 2, where mostly made some time ago. For the last 1 - 2 years, off-topic has been pretty underwhelming
Gee, I wonder why

Don't you have a thread with dozens of pages that's been dominating off-topic for years?
yeah. sure, but that was 2 years back And things have changed since then. The Off topic thread has been nerfed a couple of times But in a year or so. I will hopefully make another "Sanders for POTUS thread"

Sanders will run again? I think Kanye has a chance to win it for the Democrats.
I really hope he will run again. I dont know where you get your news from though. Sanders is still the most popular politician in USA.

Honest question: have you read his AMA on Reddit?
For those that don't know what an AMA on Reddit is: an AMA, meaning Ask Me Anything, is when somebody posts a thread and everyone can ask him/her question. These people can be actors, politicians, criminals, artists, CEO's or ordinary people who just finished high school.
