I personally feel that it's the members that make this forum great. If enough members wish to stay on and preserve the greatness of this forum by being powerful voices against what they perceive as a threat, it will remain what it is.
That is true.
You can't improve anything by leaving.
In fact very little has changed with the forum.
OK we have lost a few frills that could not survive the update for technical reasons.
Everything else has been agreed by members mods smods and admins, before any changes at all were made.
as they say where is the beef?
The new owner has been noticeable for his non-action, we have noticed him around from time to time, But if you had bought a new property wouldn't you check it out from time to time.
And Marka whose job it is to look after this forum always communicates every thing that wee need to know, and will listen to anyone.
None of us in this life gets everything our own way , and a Forum is no different.
However I would say all the slight changes that have been made, have all been improvements.
