How come?

Vain · 2011-04-15 20:21:49

How come no one really posts here? Im not from Belfast myself but check in here as I love Belfast and going in a few weeks so like reading about it. But no one posts here much even when some one starts a thread they might only get a few replys if any. Im from Kerry and that section always has new posts threads etc. Surely…

Any other Belfast forums?

Its a fair enough question to ask and one that was also asked on this thread here - referring to the Northern Ireland forums (in general) on Boards.

In between the spats there was some good reasoning posted

If you look in the main Region forum you can see how many people viewing a particular forum at any given time. Some of thos will be google spiders or similar robots indexing pages.

For instance right now North has 9 total, South 31, East 118 and West 73.
So there is quite a difference.

Furthermore, Belfast is in the UK, so people won't post as much in an Irish forum..I think..maybe they have their own forum.

I don't know to be honest.

I'm in Belfast and still found this place.

In fairness its a problem with registering on internet sites generally that users from NI tend to be split (not necessarily on ethnic/idealogical lines) between .ie and .uk sites.
