is it a bit quiet on here lately.
Have I missed something?

Between the three forums I think everyone's personality is serviced - hence a possible decrease in volume of posting here (although I think it's gone up) but an increase in quality* and on-topic posts.
I think it's a fairly normal human reaction and I'm glad Wizer set up his new forum. It's preserved (allowed a return to) this forum's original identity.
Everyone's a winner!
* I'm not saying the posts of those departed to other forums were of a lesser quality, merely that there is no longer a load of posts where persoanalities and expectations of the forum and it's management prevailed (I.e. Everyone's contribution degraded The forum as a whole.)

Couldn't agree with you more Matt. But I also think that part of it is down to Noel and Charley showing us all that the management do care about the forum and it's members, and along with the survey that they are taking notice of what sort of forum we want.

Yeah, and I told him to tell himself off real good.
Much of the bickering, not that I've seen that much recently, more sniping, finger pointing etc. etc. than anything else, seems to me to be coming from members who 'claim' to be sick of it and joined Tom's forum to get away from it? Yet they seem to positively enjoy coming on here to partake in the threads they claim to be sick of.
As for nothing having changed yet ?? Give 'em a chance for gawds sake. What's the point in rushing through changes that might not be the 'right' changes?

I disagree, I've personally posted less because of the bickering and the lack of management. Despite the post and the survey, nothing has changed - yet, if and when it does, i may take more of an active role (whether anyone likes it or not) in the forum, but as it stands, this forum still has the same problems - even our moderator has taken to duplicating and spamming posts in multiple threads.

Not quite sure what you mean by that, care to expand a little?

Err... Hello Pot.
Perhaps it is you that needs to re-read your message, you might agree that it could come across as very negative.
Then again, you might be right and I've misinterpreted its meaning.
