I agree that JWD has become so busy that it is not as user friendly as a smaller forum would be. With so many members even after being here a year I still really don't know even a fraction of the people here. Some threads pile up as fast as a chatroom would and others are gone into obscurity within seconds.
Several days ago my wife and I were facing a serious health crisis (ovarian cancer) and I was tempted to find if anyone here may have had some experience with it. But I knew it would have ended up five pages deep in the active topics and decided to skip it. She just found out yesterday that it's not cancer.
JWD seems to be geared more to the "masturbation", "my kitty is so cute" and "favorite soap scents" threads for the most part. I also find the 607/587 threads to be equally riveting as well. And of course we always have the tired out endless athiests vs theists spats for our viewing pleasure.
