Greg has asked me to pass on the following statement, and im doing this as a one time favor to him, this does not mean i am working for greg or MLF.
Ok, I absolutely do not want to lose more people, and I'd like a few of those posters to return.
I'm not talking about anything formal I just need a few level headed members who can provide feedback to me on things that are particularly troublesome in the forums.
How about this... I'll start a private club and then we can invite some of these disgruntled members (the one's that have left) to come into the club and share their thoughts with me privately.
Some folks, particularly those that have left, think I don't care what they think... they're wrong. I want to make this forum a welcoming place for everyone, it's just that whenever there was a particular thread that was started by someone who was pissed off about something (another poster, moderation action, etc) it almost always devolved into a negative
**** show - with little valuable that I can actually act on.
If you could relay that message back to those you've been in contact with, I'd really appreciate it.
