i have just spent the better part of an hour reading and re-reading these posts.

i have only very rarely visited the chat room and not for a long, long time. i have no idea what incidents any of these posts refer to, nor do i want to know.

but i do know this...this forum has changed drastically in the time since i became a member. i used to come in here to pages of new posts and tons of people online. now i come in to only a few posts, mostly jokes (nothing wrong with this, there's some good ones in there but its not the same) and very few people online. Alot of the old regulars are gone now and there seemed to be a mass exodus at one point.

im sure the reasons for this are varied and no one's business but the people involved but the fact remains that there very obviously was some sort of serious shake up from which the forum has yet to recover.

it makes me sad. this is an excellent place to come and learn and explore. its just too bad that it seems to be dying. i hope it gets better soon.

Psy...i know i saw the address to your site somewhere recently but i cant remember where. would you please PM me with it so that i may join? i am not in your area but i have always enjoyed reading your posts.

respectfully,
