just wondering...

topic posted Tue, April 13, 2004 - 9:03 AM by  Flora Isadora
The scope of this tribe is a little limited...only focusing on one psycho. Could we open it up to all serial killers? Just so we have more to talk about? Or any senseless crimes? I'm interested in Zodiac as much as anyone else, but it just seems to be rather narrow in scope.

    Well, there is a True Crime tribe and there are also tribes for Jack the Ripper, the Black Dahlia Case, the Manson Family killings, Lizzie Borden, Forensic Sciences (which is really gross and fun, too)... you get the idea. I would say the True Crime tribe would be one place to go. We could also set up a separate Serial Killers Tribe if there's sufficient interest. Or even if there isn't. :-)

      I'm just trying to ween down my tribes (yet again) and the ones with the least amount of activity are ripe for the pickin'. I'd hate to drop this one, but unless there's more activity happenin' here, I probably will leave it bookmarked and unjoin.

      Yes...I'm very tempted to join the Black Dahlia tribe, but I'm afraid that will be pretty limited too. Hmm...True Crime? That might be interesting?!?!

        A lot of the tribes have been quiet I've noticed. Especially the art and some of the music ones, now it seems to be spreading to true crime...
        I think a lot of it people don't want to be flamed for giving their opinions and theories that differ from others. I think if us moderators can make it clear that any and all theories are welcome, maybe more people will talk. But, tribe members have to contribute to the tribes also. As a moderator of a few I can assure you that I don't like being the only one to post on my tribe and hear crickets chirrup chirrup from everyone else. Then again, I don't want to trash the tribe because it's quiet. On top of that, I don't feel it's my responsibility to keep the members entertained if they aren't contributing also. Perfect example, check out my Nuclear Rabbit tribe. (Being that I'm having trouble with tribelinks, just click on my pic and then to NucRabbit)

          I hear you! I have tribes where I am the ONLY one posting. I'm thinking of cutting them off too! But maybe...its spring...it's nice out...people have better things to do? It's just my fault I have a boring job and have nothing more fulfilling to do than to check in on tribe, like, once an hour, on the hour.

          Well said, Kaydie. Another thing I would add here is that it seems that posts come in waves on some tribes. I'll notice that there's nothing on a tribe for a while, then there's be a flurry of posts, then it'll die back down for awhile. What I've started doing is just scanning the tribe list on my page and chiming in when I see someone posting.

          It's also hard not to take it personally when it seems like you are the only one posting. You post what you think is an interesting comment and, as Kaydie says, all you hear is crickets chirping. I guess I just nee to develop a thicker skin, huh?

                  Amanda = Moe

                  I apologize for confusing the Eric. And I apologize for hitting you with spit. It was actually meant to be on the ground. Spittings a dirty habit, so, I'm going back to flicking boogers. :)

                          This is a fairly new tribe as well so that may be why it's so quiet in here... I agree with Eric also that it seems that people leave a bunch of messages in a tribe then it's quiet for awhile then it's get's another wave. I don't know as much about other cases and I follow this one the most so, that's why I made it Zodiac Killer Tribe, and of course there are all the the other tribes associated with other cases already.
