David,
I would like to ask you some questions about this forum. My intent is to kind of clear the air a bit. If you so decide to comment I believe you will be truthful and forthcoming. Almost two years ago the forum moderators decided to take a new direction in moderating the forums; was it a planned change? Was it in response to anything in particular? What are the hard numbers of this change? Meaning has the forum dropped off at all or is it really non consequential? In hindsight would you have done things differently? This is kind of the elephant in the room stuff but it might be good to get your response.

If I am not here tomorrow, I will have some of my answers…lol

We took a more active role in moderating the forums because of the ridiculous level of complaints we were receiving from forum users. The atmosphere in many ways had become untenable. That buildup coincided with our upgrading to a new, better software program that allowed for much improved control over the forums. It not only made it easier for people such as yourself to post, it made managing the few troublemakers we had easier as well.

We did lose a few people due to the change, but we gained some as well, and the complaints have dropped considerably. There's never a perfect system, but this way is much better than the old, in my opinion.

I know some people prefer the old way, but I think the changes are for the better. And if I had to do it again, yes, I would do it the same way.

Well Dave u and the group r doing good work, Keep it up.........

Thank You
