Peter, what's past is past. I can't undo stuff, I can only try to make things better moving forward and I can't do it alone or if guys (even if it's just a few) would rather tear things down rather than build them up. If you really feel that the CS forum has gone downhill then help me improve it. Start some threads you think will be topical and interesting. Not sure what was meant by "generic", but if there's something more on-point, start one up.

Chuck, I note your points. I still think you might be jumping to conclusions, but who knows, maybe everyone was coming to our forum to watch the in-fighting? Personally, I think that's not something CS members should be too proud of. Your previous post mentioned everyone not coming here anymore due to the "generic" nature of the threads, which I think is of greater concern. I can't do much about that, but you can. How many times do I have to say that?

Gents:

This is our forum... and also our responsibility to work to make improvements to it.

IMO, I try to work toward those efforts... starting "non-generic" threads... making suggestions on raising the awareness on how to report "bugs" that led to some improvements on this forum... being open-minded on the "new" Blitz... taking time to learn about the new features and functionality... and also getting my opinions and ideas aired that some agree with and others do not? :chin:

So my question to Chuck, (and others?) who are commenting on the lack of "good threads" - what have you contributed in the way of "good threads" lately?

IMO, I think that we "hear" plenty from the handful of folks who keep pointing fingers at what is "wrong" with the forums - either from a "mechanics" or "content" standpoint. And then start bitching and whining about "I'm not being heard" or my post is not "valid" because others don't agree with them?

So... to Chuck (and others?)... How about starting some non-generic threads on topics of interest? Look for ways to improve things here and make constructive suggestions.

IMO, it's time for some folks to show they are serious about wanting to improve the forums... cause it has been somewhat lacking of late? :chin:
