What is there really to talk about? It's slow, and you don't really have many people seeing each individual thread, it's either you have someone pop in and make a post or two and leave, or those of us autistic people who posts alone every day perhaps out of stubbornness or obligation because we didn't want a thread to die. Which Ironically those are the ones that hit bump limit quicker. Then you have other threads with 50 different IP's, but the thread is 4 months old. I have a feeling, because I'm know first hand, that probably every thread is one autist making 100 of the posts, and mostly just people coming to post one thing and leave. If you say something, you might go a week without anyone even responding, it's hard to have any discussion, and makes you feel stupid.
I'm sure everyone knows what it's like to have a thread that did have some interest early on, but once you get past maybe 40 or 50 posts, you reach the point where it might be a week before anyone else post something, And all the time you wonder why are you even bothering when no one else is there? I always feel sad when I see a thread with maybe 2 or 3 posters I'm sure they know the feeling. That problem is especially a problem with generals.
I don't like waifufaggotry stuff like happy birthday to my beautiful wife! or whatever (or using exclamation marks in general). At it's core it's a fictional character, and I have a hard time being enthused about stuff over text, it just feels forced or fake.
If in certain threads where it is related people were asking or talking about mechanical questions or whatever, I'd respond, but you don't have that much.
It's rare to get a lot of engagement, if a show it too popular, it likely already has a general, but if it's not well known, you have the one or two guy threads.
I think generals are part of the problem, it makes it easy for the 4 or 5 regulars filter into one place, and rarely leave.
