Agreed, wholeheartedly. I'm relatively new here, but the personal conflicts, vendettas and agendas seem clear.

If the features you want aren't there why not add them yourself. Or atleast try! Ok so your not willing to spend some time learning or as it is said: "I can't code because I don't have the time LOL". Ironically I can't be bothered finishing this point.

I'll agree with this too, but I've seen some attitude from coders too. If you make suggestions or ask questions about how to modify something in their code to better suit your needs, they get surly. It can be tough for a beginner, trying to learn, in an environment like that.

I'm inclined to agree on this too, but am willing to wait and see.

At the very least I'd like to know why an innocuous post I'd made here was deleted within 5 minutes of me making it, with no explanation whatsoever to me. I PM'ed a bunch of staff members, and got no answer.

This place sure feels weird at times... like children are running the show. Considering it's a forum of forum administrators, one would think those in positions of authority would have a very strong handle on these matters.
