"The reason for the changes is that the discussion area needs to be more user friendly and welcoming to all users. The boards currently seem unfriendly to newbies, as-well-as to those who express a view other than the most popular. There are simply a lot of very interesting voices that are simply not given a chance to be heard. We are now changing the way that we approach discussion to fix these problems."

Due to other sites closing that were not pay sites, hope the negativity does not come here.  To quote Board Administration "it isn't welcoming" Negativity does not draw people, is not good for business & belongs in private board like reviewer UN-moderated area.  Negativity doesn't draw Providers, nor payments for information.  The past few weeks, look at the quality for the board here since other site closed.  Please look at the changes & recognize the effort made to brighten up the place after mods are gone.  Link to announcement from Admin., & quote addressing the negativity verses changes.  It is a community.  What do you contribute?  Make it positive or private, with consideration of others & a board left for us to have discussions on about the hobby.  It takes a village....
