I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish by this . . . wouldn't the best way for the subject matter to diversify be for people other than myself to start threads? You do have that option. I don't want to have to be the one who is always looking for topics--I started this site in hopes that others would bring ideas/thoughts/opinions of their own, and start their own threads.
It's just not going to work if there is only one person starting threads, just like it won't work if everyone treats every post as their last word on the subject. You don't need to think about what you write so much! I know I don't. In everything you say, there is usually something that will spark someone else to comment, so just let fly. If you don't want to talk about serious issues, then don't. Post something fun! Post a funny video you found, or a cool website, then you don't even have to say anything about it.
lynsey, I am sorry that you and the other DS writers/editors are unhappy with some of the threads here. There are any number of threads that do not have anything to do with the Dakota Student, and I invite you to post in those. I don't intend to bash the DS--what I did here was, granted, over the top in hopes that I would get a response, but my issue was with his ideas and my opinion would not be different were he a writer for the New York Times.
