There are so many users.
I usually see a bunch viewing certain topics but no posts follow.
Are you shy or something?
Throw in your views. A lively forum is much more fun.
 
It's another groggy Wednesday, in UK everyone has come back from work few hours ago. So they must be tired I think :skeleton:.

Friday & Saturdays are much livelier.
 
Of my mind this forum is quite active. I think that sometimes members just don´t know what to comment.

And of course, a workday is behind and the bed is in the mind.
 
I'd like to post more. Life gets in the way of that. I enjoy reading everyone's posts though. And, like sister herb said, many times I'm not sure what to say. I like to listen instead.
 
I think it's a lack of time, added to the fact there are a lack of thought provoking threads nowadays? Where have the Palestine, Syria, Iraq and general world affairs theads gone? Why is there no emphasis on these topics anymore, have we given up?

Great point.
The lack of topics is not an excuse.
 
Initially when I joined, I asked the same question too.

Id like a lively, active forum with greater interaction from members and Islamicboard is the right place to be, but dont worry - we'r getting there - lets take the plunge!;D
 
it's probably due to the fact that people want to talk about Islam as it was reavealed rather than USlam.
 
Some time ago I talked with one admin and described one other forum what is more quiet than this one as "People don´t even fight in there". So as long as here we meet bloody debates and fighting, we shouldn´t be very worry about activity of the forum.

;D
 
we need to invite sister skyes/bluebell/jauryah and msalman back, with a personalised message from all members who knew them and new members who are interested.
also Amat Allah and the indonesian mod brother and the geneticist from south u.s
i used to enjoy debating pygo and czgibson until i found myself on my own.
weird how polarization and steadfastness come from confusion, controversy and investigation.

I am not familiar with those users but a good debate can be fun.
As a member of this forum, I am to be blamed as well.
I'll try to post more often.
Hopefully not to the horror of others.

This forum is quite active, but if some people don't participate in some topics then it's okay because silence is good when one doesn't know about the topic.

I think that ignorant posts are great.
At least they can get informed, instead of not participating and just staying ignorant.
 
can somebody please tell me if dominos pizza is ok for muslims.

i ordered 2 veggie volcano's... one gluten free.

although they are labeled suitable for vegetarians on the menu, the muslim man behind the counter said they (dominos) are not guaranteed halal. (new guy never seen him before)

he handed me a leaflet but i lost it somewhere between paying for it and taking it to the car.



id get another leaflet but the guy just exploded on me...

yeah il take one sure...by.... bye.



the ancient proverb of lurk moar probably applies to such a serious forum.. but i suppose someone stirs the pot every now and then.

Yes they can get informed, i didn't say no, but if someone who doesn't know about a subject is better for him to be quiet.
If for example someone make a threat about Zakat, the answer must be given by someone who know about that subject.
This is my opinion and Allahu A'alam
 
oh my God this is a victor meldrew moment!

this forum has come to life in three days and three nights!
 
Maybe the owner should start some kind of competition and reward us with reps/gifts/money/vouchers etc for winning. What say you chief ? ;D
