Why is this forum mostly dead?

A few days later, anyone else find the irony that THIS post has the most action in the Epicurean sub-forum?

You are obviously new to WBs.

Most people don’t have food recipes to post but they do have opinions

I thought T. Williams was referring to a thread. Be a nightmare to have Charlie drafting and Jay proofing.

Though I don’t post in this sub-forum much, I have learned a great deal from it. Whichever way it goes, I’ll make a point to browse on a regular basis for the information.

I will never understand why we have an Epicurean Thread with restaurant info and a Travel thread with Restaurant info? I think it creates a lot of confusion. Epicurean by definition involves eating and drinking!

There are two kinds of foodies. Those who know how to cook the most delicious smoked brisket and those who know which restaurant has the most delicious smoked brisket. That’s the split.

Not sure that it’s THAT simplistic, as I like to cook at home, but also like to go out… largely when I’m travelling. I don’t really have an issue with the split forums, but I stick to “Steak Porn,” “What Did You Cook Tonight?” and then a random update to Smoker threads.

My bigger irritation is with the travel threads that lump a bunch of cities together, based on somebody’s vacation. I just did a Naples → Capri → Procida → Rome → Florence → Milan trip and even Rome was a pain in the ass to search through. I took the time to filter through all of the random crap I didn’t care about and came up with a fantastic game plan (which is why I love this board), but good god it was a pain in the ass.

No wonder, that’s too many cities to visit classic WB response

Todd - Thank you for asking. As a frequent contributor to the restaurant city threads I would first prefer them all in one place. For example you have NYC in the travel section and most others in epicurean. I would vote for Epicurean. I tend to think of travel as airlines, hotels, points, questions around itineraries etc. My interest in food whether its in a restaurant in LA, NY, Paris etc. or cooking at home is the same. Hope that helps.

I’ve been meaning to move all the restaurant threads to travel. Just been lazy. So will get off my butt now and do it.

Time better spent fixing the search function.

What’s wrong with the search function? Unless of course you were expecting to use it to search for things at a given point in time instead of maybe 14 seconds in the future, then it has some issues.
