If I'm cutting them down, then they clearly don't want to be motivated or challenged. I've been on harsher communities where that attitude steels people and cuts around corners.

I agree that the documentary has a lot of potential to help out the fandom, but you can't expect people to talk about nothing besides it.
I never said it had to be the consistent vocal point of conversation, but it should have more activity and participation involved than it does currently, especially when it has to play second fiddle to daily discussions on THIS crap. True, there's not a lot of posts in HERE, but I'm not just talking about this thread, I'm talking about these kinds of threads constantly cropping up....it's sad.

Also, I see that you have had a frustrating experience in getting people to contribute to your projects, but that's not what I was referring to. My suggestions are for improving the quality of conversation on the forums, which is what you were complaining about in your original post.
Did this sudden concern for "quality of conversation" occur before or after you threw my previous vents and concerns into a thread called "Pointless Whining"? when I was neither whining or without a point to make? I took personal exception to that, but opted not to PM you my outrage, I figured there'd be another time, another place to vent, and I found that.

I'm a fan like you and everyone. I just like my fandoms to be much hungrier than they actually are.
