(30 Sep 2019, 9:50 am)Dan No, not seeing it as an attack at all.
Just saying, as I have done to others previously, that the discussion on this forum compared to other sites has taken a turn for the worst. There's no discussion anymore, it's just questions expecting answers, or statements with no following discussion.
Posts are seemingly made with the expectation of an explanation (which appeared to be the intention of your post). There's less discussion in the Arriva and Stagecoach threads but seems to be more engaging when there is a discussion, would be my personal view.
Looking for ways in which to improve the quality of discussion and debate - something which this site was renowned for, a few years back. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to drop me a PM.

The question is though how does one define the 'quality of discussion', is it measured purely on the amount of discussion, the amount of research that is put into responses, whether or not a user asks a question that would be better suited to a GNE employee even if a forum user would know the answer and be able to help.
I feel like one of the things that kills discussion the most is only having one thread dedicated to discussion, we could all be having a nice little discussion about bus related things, and someone could come in say something different and suddenly that discussion is ended.
Obviously I'm not one of the OG members so I don't know the reason behind it being set up the way it is, but other forums I frequent allow users to create a thread for each discussion, which I feel helps keep the discussion going as there won't be interruptions
