Actually, that's a ****** mature way of looking at it!
For the most part I agree. I just have one major irritation with this place - I'd really like it if those with the power could instigate some physical changes around here - that's probably in part feeding much of this negativity. The site isn't that bad, a site regardless where it is or what it's about is only as good as it's members and their contributions. Having said that, if we had a working democracy and those with the so-called 'powers' actually did have the powers to effect change when and if necessary, either to keep up with demand or just to freshen the place up a bit, then I think that would make all the difference.
Why have mods and admins who really have no say and figuratively are just glorified members? (no insult intended guys, just spitballing) When we get frustrated and want something we look to them as dictated by apparent chain of command, yet it's broken. They have their hands tied too, don't they?
Talk of a new site is all well and good - but that's only appealing if it has an owner etc that is active on the boards. If they deliver, so to speak. I don't want to go anywhere, I just want something new. I love this place, it holds a lot of memories for me, but would it kill the owner to breathe some new life into it and blow out the proverbial cobwebs or something? A new banner, a new look, a new something, anything (not the adds, they were a bit silly) but... well hopefully you get what I mean.
Anyway, that's just my humble opinion.
