slightly strange post for me i guess and one i didnt think i would ever do. having read RB's good bye thread got me thinking.
I too feel things here have changed and the atmosphere and tone of posts has changed alot since i joined, many of the old crowd have gone or hardly post, infact the post count as a whole has decreased. There was a time if you read back a year or two ago where a thread normally had a little **** chat within and sometimes wondered from the path, but rarely was that seen as a problem and more people therefore responded to a thread, hence you get a feeling of COMMUNITY . this has largely gone. the forum to me now feels more like a technical question and answer place, you have a technical question you ask it as concisely and possible so as not to waste others time and you get a technical reply! no more **** chat no more daring to step outside the rigid confines of the OP's original question.
Dont get me wrong all forums evolve over time thats just a simple fact of life, but the way this is evolving just isnt my cup of tea, so as i would advise anyone else that wasnt happy with something, 'dont complain move on'. I have noticed also in alot of threads people complain that others are just trying to get homework or a job done for free etc, but step back read posts from a couple of years ago and its easy to see why things are going this way. Myself and logan have had much help from here and all of it has been appreciated, we have made friends that we value greatly. So i guess the simple reason for us to call it a day for now is one or two things that have happened of late (no i dont want to go into detail) make me feel like we dont fit anymore and the fun has gone for us, so we wish you all well and the very best and a big thank you from us both for all the help and knowledge we have gained,. Things always change so you never know maybe we will post again in the future but if not IT's been fun and we have had a great time here but time to go.
Best wishes
