I am pretty new here in comparison with all of you, but I know forums, and I know communities. Why sit around moping, whining about those who left and the new changes? What you need to do to make it like the old days, is take some personal responsibility.

You guys have a great community here, but the more you try to hold on to those who want to leave and the old ways, the faster this place is going to fall apart, like sand through your fingers. Let it go - move on and shoulder these ideals together - march on and rebuild the foundations that have broken and you will find that it was you all that made this community what is, not just those who walked away.

Every thread you post on this matter helps to destroy this community, not fix it. These conversations are better had behind the curtains by those who can make a difference, not by the general mob.

Just my opinion - and sorry if I step out of bounds giving it.
