I think the advent/popularity of facebook is more likely the answer.

I dunno, personally i dont venture there much. 

Like myself, There are still lots of people who are attracted by the diversity and prefere a public board. [IMO}

Without knowing CW or RT..Things have always changed here, people come and go, and are unfairly treated. Thats cyber life. 

the more things change around here the more they stay the same

the only real change is the ids

Though I wasn't around It's probably changed since the old boards but then those changes are to be expected I would imagine ? It may depend what people like/want out of  a discussion boards.I'd be happy with discussion 🙂

Laughter would be even better.....Why should negative changes be expected?  All they've done thus far is turn the place into a desert by comparison to days gone by.  Seems to me it wasn't broken so why fix it?

the more things change around here the more they stay the same the only real change is the ids

My fave quote lol

Hawk, UHM 30 minutes to answer.......:^O   Only jokin'. U H No M

That was not an order by Karen...........it was a matter totally unrelated to the boards...........as I am sure Hawk will confirm.

she just felt the need to put it out there publically to give extra emphasis, rather then PM it:^O

Well Hawk if you believe that , then thats your prerogative

but in that case how about addressing the first part of my post , which you found believable 

Do you take any responsibity & any apologies or admissions ?

:^O

Unfortunately any apology offered to any and all  I seriously doubt would be accepted so its a futile exercise.

  admissions of what ? having an opinion? standing up for myself?

I'd like to see more nudity and wildlife on the boards.

I'd like posters to Let It Slide rather than report it. I think it's unfair 99 percent can find something amusing but the one percent that finds it offensive has the final say (at least thats how it seems to me) And I'd really like to see moderators moderate

Oh and I'd also like to See Iza count to hundred between making posts 😛
