I spent a couple of hours going through the “refreshing” section. Now I want to know if I got the message right and I want to let you know the things I love here. I love to wander with Doc. I love to see Carol’s a nature. There are many standard posts that I look forward to reading and I am not bored with it at all. Just sayin’.
It sounds to me that we are bored with what we are writing and reading. I would do more quizzes if they would display correctly and I didn’t have to bother staff and sometimes that doesn’t even work to publish correctly.
Perhaps we would be better served if we change the things that are completely in our own control! I know it’s not much fun, but we can’t seem to do anything else. Why don’t we try some different things that are in our control? Let’s think outside of the box.
What would you do if another member of Virily simply sent you a subject and asked you to make “some kind of post out of it.”? Would you step outside your comfort zone and take on the task? Would that be a change and part of refreshing?
I freely admit that most of my work here flops. If it weren’t for friends from my blog, most wouldn’t have more than 3 or 4 views. But I keep going because I love to write, I have come to care about people here and my family loves to see your work.

I am only helping those now that want help. I have given up on the community as a whole for now.
I am here to write, read and enjoy.
On the contrary, I am not bored with what I am writing. It is always related to the photo that I post.
My post started out like yours. I was looking for something different here, freshen things up a bit. But when that conversion starts it is full circle back to the issues at hand. And you know what those are. As for ideas we can control, we can pretty much post what we want, unless it is rejected. We can comment on other’s posts.
It’s frustrating when the admins don’t respond to our concerns/suggestions. Their lack of response is discouraging many of us.
Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which posts are acceptable or not. I had written an article that was rejected without any explanation accompanying it. This is discouraging because it leaves me in a cloud of uncertainty which posts are acceptable.
My opinion: We post what we like best and also vary the taste of our articles. I don’t think users here can post lengthy posts or well-researched articles.
Yes indeed, I feel your pain and frustration. There is no excuse.
So it’s great that you gave me an upvote, but why doesn’t anyone answer the question. This we can control and it’s very frustrating. So much for my calm, don’t get involved day. I think it’s time I go. Have a great day.

If you like those kinds of posts you should write those kinds of posts.
