I wonder why the upvotes are so low. Even some pinned posts have only a few comments. I love you guys and I love reading your thoughts. I just wish more people interacted and I wonder how many people see our content.

Sometimes I wonder if these forums are just meant to 'spread us thin' so each of us that visits just gets an experience with the same 500 or so people.. I hope not.. but I'm skeptical of everything at this point. It's not like there's any company proudly owning the .WIN forums..
Can you elaborate? This is the official Q forum, not a tool to spread us thin.
I had a post or comment (or a few) seem to disappear in the ether (with no replies/likes/downvotes - and get removed from my history to my knowledge) and it makes me wonder how organic this forum really is compared to an obviously heavily-censored forum like the R-one. I do think the moderation here attempts to be fair and maybe my experiences were attempts at weeding out me seeming like a concern troll or something. Also, it seems we 'congregate' here but with little sense of identity (like is common on Twitter) and knowledge (or plausible hypothesis or theories) seldom stay 'sticky' long enough for someone new to even begin to have any kind of 'quick synopsis' on what to pursue.
This is my goto for trying to find more information about any significant event - I just find it odd that few here seem to be talking much about events I think are connected and significant and would connect more people along like-minded idealogy. Like.. the biggest thing anti-Q people fear is us connecting with people focused on similarities rather than differences - so maybe a synopsis of the hive would be nice.
And, even further, I just never understood the facade that p.w (formerly td.w) seems to be entirely different people than g.w.
Don't get me wrong - this seems to be the best place we have - and one of the few (besides Twitter recently - but Twitter still censoring).. just seems there needs to be 'hall of fame' posts or something that keep vibrant discussions going no matter how old the original post and maybe a way to read 'most upvoted' comments in their context without having to search so hard.
So.. in order to trust, but verify (like I always attempt to do), the 'but verify' part is hard with this forum.
You make some great points.
