I think any threads which comment on the lake, boating, and regulations affecting the people who use the lake, will draw more attention than others not related to those subjects..
How about the thread "City of Laconia home rentals", it has received over 11,000 views?
That thread isn't about boating.

The reality is that news agencies use data statics as to what people view so that advertisers will get the most bang for their buck. Even this forum could be used by how many viewers review certain threads.
So, the more negative news the more viewers equal more products being looked at.
Look at Fox and CNN News, all negative news from opposing side. They get the most viewers which turns into more money from advertisers.
That was my point for the comment I made.
