Wherever you move onto, I hope you continue the tradition and supply them with high-res images of busty blondes and brunettes. B-)
God bless ya. =D>
No, this thread is about people informing the community if they are leaving ... for whatever reason. At the moment the new forum is the main reason but in my case - as I posted up there I was just saying I wouldn't be around over the next few days a lot due to a rowing regatta. As I am friends with people here I like to personally have an idea their comings and goings - for whatever reason.
In time this thread will become more like the old one of mi6 in terms of why people are leaving but at the moment this is the way it is.
What has happened to this site!?
Could it be MI6book's first troll?
It has to be expected.
Though to be honest, as hard as changes are I'm a little disappointed that some of the long time regulars haven't given this site a chance.
It's been running for little more than 24 hours and people are jumping ship.
People will go, and new members will come on board.
Old members who've leapt off may at some point return.
But to fight about it whether you want to stay or go is not getting anywhere.
I'll probably lurk here and there. See how the site shapes up. But wow. Just leave?
It's very hard to believe that they had no notice. What would have happened if it crashed before this site was up? Right... that would not have happened.
And for the mods to blow it off like it's nothing is a bit strange when you guys have spent a lot of time and personal energy there too. I'm sure some don't care that their efforts are never to be seen again... But some of the mods likely care but are towing the line. That also is a bit distressing.
So it's not just that this type is ugly, the page is only half used and that it's hard to navigate, it's the condescending attitude that what anyone who's not a mod says or thinks or feels is pretty much unimportant. (I know that's not entirely true but it's how it has felt, and it's fair to express that.)
So we waiting for years hearing about an update. We get no warning to save any threads for posterity... and then you guys complain that some are jumping ship. If a few of the mod team had never been modded I suspect they would be too. So.. Why the surprise?
James... I for one want to see what happens here. Can't someone give it a chance without drinking the koolaid?
I guess I'll head out now. :(
That the mods would fall all over a trolling teenager in the last forum to protect their feelings but make it out that this isn't a huge deal is beyond comprehension. It's a huge deal. Sure we are all going to live but we've lived with that old forum as a resource for years. It should be understandable that members are pissed/disappointed/hurt/whatever.
But you know what? I see this all the time nowadays... people talk all the time through facebook, texting, emails etc... so they feel they are communicating at all time when they really aren't and, more often than not, they leave out the major bits of communication. I experience this at work with my boss all the time. We talk about the little things and then miss out the big things.
MICROBLOGGING. FOR YOUR HEALTH.
I really hope you and others who are at the end of the day some of the members whose posts I've enjoyed reading the most over the last few years do stay and continue to contribute - I for one will miss a lot of the folk who have said they're not willing to give the changes a go.
It's not the changes. It's the fact that we were not given ANY warning...not even a slight mention that it was possible that we could lose the old data. If they didn't know, fine. But then the lack of communication to members about the issue and the complete disregard for the feelings of the members has been what's upset most of the people who are leaving.
This format is ugly but I'm still here and so are others that will give it a go. But please understand that what's happened isn't a change in format, it's a PR disaster. How on earth can anyone expect people to want to rebuild if the library of information and the people putting in the effort to build it are worthless to the hosts?
Farewell to j7wild and others who decided to leave. All very sad.
I've double posted as I can't find the erase button for this post to add to my previous one. Sorry.
But for some reason, perhaps the embarrassment over losing domain names has led to old members being ignored and treated so rudely. It is a shame. I really don't see why the tone has become so hostile.
