Trip, this self rightous crusade is a load of bs. You do have some good point about what some people have been doing here, but if you're trying to tell me your link to TOS was simply to help and not to have new users see TOS and possible join, i don't believe it. And now I think you saw people starting to become childish and saw it as an opportunity to look down your nose at them. You constantly post about how you post more than other people in the help forums like that somehow it makes you better than them. Well, if that's what you think you might want to re-evaliate the way you think. Elitist bull**** causes too much crap in the world.

And Richard1, all i have to say is i agree with cleetus, if you think the member of the forums do not contribute to the bottom line and survival of this site you're mistaken. If the community stagnates it will show in the bottom line of the site. I'm not trying to be disrespectful here, i'm just tired of hearing people ranting and not listening to other sides of the argument.

And for anyone who may try to attack me, yes i do enjoy some of the squabbling that goes on here. But it's the stuff that is all in good fun and everyone involved knows what it is. Right now people are getting pissed off and it's time to put it to an end.
Attack you?
Why would anyone do that?
You are right: It IS time to put an end to it and get along in this virtual world we call our own.
R1 never said he didn't agree with what "WE" contribute? So, what are you really saying? That there needs to be more input from the leaders? If so, well, he did promise that, and I for one believe he will deliver.
But me: a self righteous crusader and elitist? Wow, you have no idea whatsoever. I wouldn't be here helping people I don't even know, as well as this website, if that was the case. So, be careful whom you cast aspersions at when you have no clue.
And 3fs: you will hear from him.
