Hi guys! I just wanted everyone to know that I still check in and glance at the forum every 6 months or so. I do remember and know exactly why and when people began drifting away, and it was when the format changed to the current incarnation. I understand the move was done to save money, but when you buy cheap, you get cheap, and in comparison to the old board, this one looks cheap with a Capital C. I stuck it out for a while but it when it became apparent that few people were coming back and days went by without any new posts I just sort of moved on with everybody else. I loved being a member of this site, but even now I still have problems with the new format. First off, I hate typing my post in this little box. It's a real strain on my aging eyes!

The old board had less functionality but it was pleasing to the eyes. This one may have more functionality, but it's flat out ugly. I could look past that, but it's obvious that a lot of members couldn't.
