Sometimes I was thinking I could just save some of my posts and could be used so many times for different people with same problem lol.
I won't lie when I open a thread and first sentence is 'Hi I am 16..' that's when I closed it lol.

To Fair–
I agree with your OP 100% and that’s why I don’t post here nearly as much as I used to. I also know that’s why a lot of former members who were very active here have disappeared.
It is also the reason that discourages new people from posting on the LYC forums. People are looking to find answers to their problems, not to stir up a pot of controversy with infighting and squabbling.
When I first came on here LYC was a place where people could pose a question and respondents could freely express their thoughts without fear of being condemned by people of opposite opinions. It was mainly up to the reader to separate the helpful advice from the bad. And while good advice always outnumbered the bad (IMO), everyone could freely express their opinions without fear of being attacked.
Now, when almost every thread turns into a heated debate, sparked with extreme hostility and name calling and a few highly opinionated people always feeling that they have to have the last word, the forum has no longer become inviting or helpful for most persons seeking advice, especially newcomers.
Another reason for decreasing activity on LYC is that a whole lot of formerly active people got banned for relatively petty reasons and most of their friends left in unison. But even if they were allowed to return, they probably wouldn’t because the whole tone of LYC has changed so drastically.
Statistics on Alexa show declining participation in LYC.

A mirror!
I think a lot of the decrease in activity here is due to the fact that the forum is HARD to find. I remember it being linked through the main website and that's how I found it initially, but now the only way I can find it is from directly going to the url...

and the worst, there's no more like love quotes,e cards, The reason I found this forum was because I randomly googled e cards and love quotes and that's how it took me to this site lol. Now the only way people will find this site if they ACTUALLY have to have a problem plus,want to find a forum to talk about it, meaning they have to google like 'love forum' or something like that. So it kinda minimizes the pool of posters.

I think there could be several reasons why this place isn't like it used to be. All I can think of is:
Maybe people don't like to post on the message boards because they feel you guys are all such good friends here and they feel as if they're butting in. Yeah ok I admit, I do feel this sometimes myself.
I think it's true what someone said further up. The forum is HARD to find. But having said this I suppose it's a good thing too. It keeps out the riff raff
If anyone here needs to talk or needs some advice then feel free to pm me at anytime. I prefer pm's Just because I don't post on the forum much nowdays doesn't mean I'm not here for you. Some people like the of forum because it makes them anonamous.. I dunno.. I guess i'm just happy being me and don't feel the need to hide on here because it's public view. : )

A lot of times, people are only focused on their own issues. Once those issues are gone, they don't feel the need to stick around and give support and input to others. The LDR forum is a big example of that. It used to be a bustling forum. Now? It's an absolute ghost-town - which really goes to show how self-involved and self-serving a lot of those individuals truly were.
I like this site. It has its ups and downs, but it's interesting to read about others experiences and to give input and feedback to individuals struggling with matters in their lives while also shedding light on my own relevant experience.

Self involved and self serving??? Those girls (and guy) have become some of the rocks in my life. Sure, we've moved on from the LDR forum because either 1. the relationships ended 2. the relationships flourished (many of us are now living with our SO's, engaged, married, etc). We still speak often. I think a lot of us just felt the LDR forum was no longer the place for us to be since.... well we are no longer IN long distance relationships. There is no "we survived LDR hell and lived to tell about it" forum.
I mean really, it would feel like a jab at someone for me to post rainbows and sunshine about my relationship everyday when the new crop of people coming in wouldn't know the back story (without digging through posts) that I'd done the LDR 'thing' for a few years. And we can only repeat the same things over and over (like PP's have stated) so many times to the very FEW newcomers before they probably want to slap us silly because we aren't in the same place as them anymore.
That's just my opinion.
