Ideal forum: utopia or ...

[Art-lover]

I apologize for the delay: distract urgent matters.

Speaking of communication on the forum, we unwittingly find ourselves captive false abstraction.

In fact, there is no single communication, but there are a number of linear flows of messages ( "order"), in which we insert their messages. (As a small fish in the aquarium, they begin their independent lives, and so uvlekalno is monitoring their swimming ...)
By creating a regular mesidzh, each author comes from its implicit model (metaphor) going communication, which depends on his mood at that moment, the current and long-term interests, abilities, established relationships with interlocutors, the theme of ownership, time available, and God knows yet what causes .
Everyone - his own illusion of communicative situation, and the interference of these illusions, the combined, creates a variety of patterns, the uniqueness of which is masked by indifference by the word "communication".

Contemplate these patterns - and you'll understand why they are interwoven so hard to "serious topic for discussion." Lack of such topics specified qwerty, - wrong side of the predominance of the forum relaxed and enjoyable for all onosheniyah "communication.
You can specify: interesting topics have (bow LCR), but almost no one to discuss them. In the meantime, the forum governs the metaphor of "second-class trains, which wrote nicola (joined in the conversation" for life "from any place, chatted on-Sem and coskochil at the nearest railway halt) - or simply once. As in the famous joke: no time to think, need to shake ...
If second-class trains nabetsya stouter, the bees live chat raise such a "ninth wave" messages and random so that the forum may be awash in products for their livelihoods.
Any message - is "vampirchik, Ueda bit of time reading and comprehension - the question is that it gives in return. Finding gems in the huge pile of sand does not leave time and effort for nothing. Already, the situation intensifies, and imagine the situation "x10" - a tenfold increase in the number of participants and the flow of messages?
Any serious issue will begin to swing, or, if it exists zhivinka for Balagurov, or ignored for lack of time for its comprehension and production of sane reaction.

I see only one way out: the cultivation of alternative metaphors, such as "Symposium", when the discussion of interesting topics are at a decent level, and thoughtful positions not only gives the author topic, but his interlocutors. What does not exclude the break for tea and sightseeing tour, backstage gossip, etc. - But in a measure, which will prompt an internal clock cycle.
How does it carry? Maybe highlight topics such special marks, and recommended them the rules take the form of conventions, which DB familiarize the participants?

"Create a collection of interesting topics?. Everyone writes in this section that it would be interesting to know who can - is responsible. Here you can compare different schools, the flow, borrowing, etc.

Could not to multiply the topic with unanswered questions, not create a partition, and the theme of "Collection of issues of interest" - a collection of ideas for future topics. For every idea there could be vote by pressing the "Thank you", and we will see who that is interesting, and how many votes for the opening of a topic.

Himself invent new topic is difficult because not a fact that what is interesting to you, interesting and different, much easier to answer

I think that you should not censor themselves for fear of uninteresting affect other issues. In contrast, expression of keen interest to any question can ignite others, unless it is reduced to a dry feed information, and provided with a commentary explaining this interest.
Even if some time is not a live response, this does not mean that it does not appear later, when the forum will come new people. Forum is indexed in search engines, and work to "raise" an interesting topic will be visible across the network.
