Why does this forum suck?

GI is a great field but this forum is super dead compared to many of the others. Is it just because there aren't that many GIs that are registered to SDN? Or are you guys too cool to post on the internet? Or even worse, are you too busy? Hmm...

way to busy to post. We do try to help out when asked questions, but GI and building application for it are too heavy.

Dude I was wondering the same thing the other day. There's no reason this forum cannot be as active as the other ones. The busy excuse kind of sucks because there are a ton of specialties just as busy with a lot more action. Building an application for GI stops someone from posting on SDN? lol

Those of us who have made it, have made it.

Not a lot of questions being asked on up and comers it seems.

Still... a lot of people who have made it in other awesome specialties still discuss a variety of topics on their forum.

Think of how those of us relegated to "other subspecialties" feel 🙁

Not a lot of activity or posts, doesn't lead people to sticking around. Last 2 posts I added to are dead.

I like to think its because we are all so happy and satisfied with our jobs.

Too competitive? Everyone just keeps their mouth shut and their head down I suppose.

Sorry I was too busy scoping.
Jokes aside, When I applied 2 years ago, this forum was a lot more active. I guess this is not the prime time yet. wait till may or so.

Also, if you are actually in GI, the AGA forums are reasonably active with posts about case questions and general discussion. Lots of "big names" regularly reply to questions.

True.

Not only the above reasons, but by the numbers GI has less fellows annually than a lot of fields i.e. roughly half as many GI fellows per year compared to cards

It sucks because people ask questions like "how much **** do you see" and "can I make a lot of money"
