It's missing the substance it once had.
As of late, nothing but pointless bickering and countless arguments have been posted.
It's disheartening to hear, but the community we once had is no more.
To be honest, I've written up plenty of posts, lately, only to click the back button. Mainly, because what I would have posted probably would have caused more trouble than anything else. I don't like censoring myself, but I have done so lately to avoid conflict.
What I'm getting at is that censoring one's self is something those "parties whom shall remained unnamed" should look into. If someone angers you, don't give them the satisfaction of a response. It's fine to defend yourself, but when you do so in such a manner as the offender did to you, it means nothing.
Not only that, but all it does is "fuel the fire", so to speak. You're giving them a reason to continue. So, please, instead of the constant squabbles, let us get this forum back on track, not with flash avatars, nor signatures, but first with our own attitudes.
