What's the Point of Posting and Reading Anymore

Over the last few weeks I see nothing worth reading in these forums. Nothing but misinformation, knee jerk reactions to the misinformation, and the same bs over and over. Give it a break guys. The doom threads, veiled doom threads, anti-this, do nerf this, don't nerf that is getting so boring.
I challenge you guys to come up with something new and interesting to post about. That isn't negative. I challenge you to do some research and reading before you post your Oh No! Doom! post. I challenge you to search the forums for your topic you're thinking about posting on and see if it hasn't already been covered in the last month before throwing up a new thread.
I challenge you to let all the dead horses rest in peace for once.

Just lurk or don't even come here at all.
Personally I'm here for the devs.
OP, I applaud you. Your idea is a very good one. But herding wet cats might be easier than getting this lot to change anytime soon. Still, I will do what I can to support your idea. Because it has merit and would be good for the place.
One of my ships is actually called the U.S.S. Constipation.
There's a joke in there waiting to be told...about how Cryptic won't give folks a T5 Constitution-class in the game, but they've no problem with all the T5 Constipation-class discussions taking place on the forums.

Thanks thunderfoot. After the "forum post quality revolution of the summer of '14" is complete we'll try that wet cat herding you mentioned. I do like a challenge.
I only accept dead horses as dead horses if called dead horses by Cryptic, by the way - otherwise, I support folks carrying on the fight for what they want (even I disagree with them)...
But things that Cryptic has said are one way or the other, those are pretty much closed for debate. Doesn't mean Cryptic won't randomly do whatever they please down the road, but it's pretty dead as a discussion point on the forums.
lol Ahhh I needed that.
edit:on the dead horses, dude it could be months or years in between things being stated by Cryptic to be definite no-gos. so that's lots of dead horses and lots of beating in the meantime. I don't want to discourage people asking for things they'd like to see in the game they care so much about. It's the whole concept of "something I have to fight for" in the context of a video game and it's forum that just doesn't sit well.
Personally, I find the STO forums help me relax when I take my blood pressure readings. I'm also evaluating their usefulness as a tool to sell popcorn.
EDIT: If walls of text bother you, just skip any paragraph longer than 2 or 3 sentences. I think most other readers seem to do that anyway.
And You! Armenian Daddy! You are hereby challenged to stop posting your conspiracy theories and doom threads your posting five times a week.
How about a thread asking if Steam can be launched from Arc...?
Hrmm, that got me thinking...I lost all sorts of posting credit with the Forumpocalypse of 2012 - I deserve some sort of post count compensation!
I cant see how you say its only been for the last few weeks I been checking into the forum for the last two years and its always been like this.
the problem is that the devs tend to do things that not everyone will like, people think that if they kick up enough fuss they might put a halt to the change when the truth is once the devs have made up their minds to do something we wont change it no matter how much noise we make.
look at the fuss everyone made over the grindaversary, is that likely to make it any different next year, I bet there will be no sudden change of heart and we will have another grind next year.
once the devs get an idea of how something should be they are like a dog with a bone over it, they will never let it go.
there have been very few instances where users input has been implemented and truth be known the devs had been contemplating the change anyhow the users input only affirmed their theory that its what players want.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
See, I don't think it's been as bad in the past 2.5 years or so as it has been in the past 2-3 weeks or so...it's almost as if there is a plot afoot!
Riddle me this...
Outside of the new crafting system, what will Cryptic ultimately release? According to one of the developers, the crafting system is not meant to be used as a form of leveling.
So, what is there to do?
100% of the endgame is a grind. People are ticked.
oh believe me it has, I cant think of one event or update or change to existing formats that hasn't caused a torrent of complaints from some of the users.
just look at the torrent of complaints from users when the changed the hourly events to weekend events, did it make any difference ?, not one bit.

that's what I just said.

Just because they don't follow peoples complaints doesn't mean they don't read it. They have a more broader view of things, and all the analytics to make those kind of decisions. Do I agree with everything that happens in STO? Newp. Do I post feedback about it? Sometimes but I also make sure it's constructive not just "I don't like it".
And yes, things have been changed based on player feedback countless times.

See, I just can't. Averaging 8-10 hours a day on the forums for the past 2.5 years...I've never had the tinfoil hat feeling that something was going on like it has with all the nonsense of late.
It's like the small group that got ticked about the Rep change put up flyers at the grocery store, schools, community centers, churches, you name it...recruiting folks to come parrot all sorts of misinformation.
