To be quite honest I think it's sad that such a previously good forum should get into that state. But to be honest they have no one to blame but themselves. I think the main reason for the popularity of this forum is due to the heavy handed moderating by a few on that other place. Thanks guys.

Those are exactly my feelings, Adrian. I couldn't agree more.

Well said all. I think the strength of this place is that it has no major weakness. That can't be said about the place currently (and tenuously) holding on to the number three place in the Euro top 100.

Anything or any forum is what you make it. And the success here speaks volumes for the caliber (pun intended) of the guys and gals here.

Well, then it’s time for a hard-hitting moderator. Not that “oh, yeah man, groovy” everything goes mentality of the 60’s. Clean cut, straight eyed healthy young men and women is what we need here. And hygienic, very important. I hope I’ll get your vote, I’ll clean up this place and that’s a promise.
