"But better die than live mechanically a life that is a repetition of repetitions. "
<< David Herbert Lawrence>>
Even though repitition in some area of life, such as learning a new word, is useful, it's not so appealing on MYEC forum. Repetition on MYEC Forum drains energy and vitality and makes it difficult for members to find their favorite questions. Therefore, repetitive topics end up being deleted.
So far, the popular topics have been about "How teachers can motivate students?", "Why do we learn English?", "Is studying English grammar useful ?", "How can we speak fluently?", "How can an English learner be a star member on MYEC?","How can English classrooms be interesting?" and "What is love?"
As David Herbert states in the aforementioned quote, better die than live a repetitive life, it's better escape from a boring forum. So, I highly appreciate if you post new topics other than current themes.

Hmm... maybe this site needs an FAQ page so member who want to create a discussion can check that page first before posting something.
always enlightening your topic blog, dear Nafis! honestly before I sign in to MyEC I checked some blogs and hope I find something interesting in it and I found yours :)
before we post a blog, what should we do? We locate the material as a reference or benchmark so the topics we write, will always be interesting and no repetitive topics. the possibility of someone lazy to find another topic and worried no one commented upon it, actually a lot of interesting topics around us that can be filed, such as politics, psychology, economics, social, human rights or doing observation of what is happening around us here, MyEC, as you have done.
creative or not all depends on what we've written and … in the end I just say "your blog is your personality" ... Thanks Nafis!

Dear Nafis,
I totally agree with you, IF you look at the blogs page, then have a look on the forum, you will find that there is very rare activity in the Forum. I don't know why, but I think it is not healthy.
IF you give every thing here percentages, As a standard MyEC member, you will find that the Chat page will take mostly 50% of his time, blogs page 30% Forum 10% ^ 20% groups. I think we must do something about it.
Ok, what to do? lets go and see whats there on the forum... wow.! topics repetition, this makes them feel bored.
I tried once to make a topic there in the forum " Whats your fav. shoes" , yet very few members have reacted. When I see few members there, this will not give me the desire to continue posting topics or be active in one of them. As you said, repetition for sure makes the member feel lost which one he could chose.
Diversity of topics, makes it a lot of fun, we don't have to make every topic about English language, lets forget that pressure for awhile, lets talk about things which interest us, things that combined us. There is always a million way, even more.
I wish we make the forum page, the best place ever to be in.
Regards
Night
