This is no longer the forum I remember and love.

Do you mind if I ask why? Not questioning your motives, just wondering what you think is different. I too often think the forum has changed quite a lot from the days of old.

What do you think has changed shell? Just curious.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

For one thing it's all done on computers now.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well for starters August 2015 when I returned to AF I had 8000 posts....

So yeah even if Min had stayed I'd have more posts than him in a year or two Tongue

So what's changed? Me returning.

I guess it's all my fault Hehe

That's right it's all about me! Me I say!

I think it's become much more meta and clique-y, though that seems to have died down since the first month I came back. It was straight ridiculous in here. There's a lot of mollycoddling too, but it's hard not to do that when you have people being very vocal about how much they want to be mollycoddled. Wink

It's a reference to guitarin'. We guitarists are inveterate modifiers of gear.

Of course, if you still don't like it, feel free to block sigs, or (probably a better solution) put me on ignore. I won't lose any sleep, kiddo.
