The level (quality) of participation in Guppshupp has taken a nosedive. Participants are complaining in general (in General Section) about the lack of new and interesting topics. It has gotten so bad that the hottest topic in General is how many A’s are there in peoples’ names. Oprah should make a note of it. There have not been a single new people, in “Meeting new people” since the Iron Age (i.e. since the departure of Ironman). Some members however have become ‘newer” in their outlook at world. The Politics and Religion have become a battle ground for right vs. wrong, as opposed to right vs. left. In religion, I believe, we have reached a bottom low, with discussing issues such as oral sex. To me, it is only a common sense that if you want sensual pleasure, stay away from Religion as far as possible (it’s only my view and not the view of the management or the corporation that I represent). Politics is politics as usual. A few participants view the world as India and Pakistan alone. The rest, for them, do not matter, or does not exist. Wishful thinking.
The Poetry section has not posted a decent poem in ages. Some of the poems lack any rhyme or rhythm. I am not very familiar with Urdu poetic composition, and some of the stuff sounds very “Azad” (free of any rhythmic order) to me.
What can I tell you about Culture? No participant seem to be aware of what cultural heritage he or she has. To most here, culture is an alien concept, and right wing political thought or sexual promiscuity is often misconstrued as culture. I think, that this section should be merged with Politics, as participants in that section will give you a lesson in culture (along with pornography, sex, gambling, and anything and everything BUT politics). The other sections are doing equally horribly.

NYA bud
i am pertty busy …however evenings are the only chance i get to come to the forum again and again and again …
and tht time only Nageena is here …while the rest are at work or school
The Poetry section has not posted a decent poem in ages
Ahhhh here I am ’ghissing’ my fingers typing all those beautiful ghazals and shyers and no body like them
btw Naiko Hayaa Rameesha and Umar Talib are our main mujrims here
And about Culture arreyyyy we try our best or at least I do. Na really you see the problem is that most of the times we ’adhe angrez’ can only ask questions about our culture and heritage, so we need members like ZZ, Chann jee and you to answer them. :)Most of us need to know cultural aspects that we can be proud of. We need to learn how to love our culture, respect our heritage etc.

Personally I think the Rag is mostly boring. I don't know why Dev keeps recommending it. Flirting on the internet is no substitute for the real thing.
NYA, you need to start putting some posts here that will catch people's attention. Here's an example;
Subject heading: Why pork is ok
Author: NYAhmadi
This is just an example but it's a subject that you believe in and no doubt a few eyes will pop open when they clap sight on it.
Just for you I will try to drum up some interest in the General Forum. Let me put my thinking hat on and I will come back with a chin-scratching subject.
