well I think I did say what the main problem is and how to fix it
as charlesn just said, one person can do/say/post anything and the next person get shut out time and time again..there doesn't seem to be one rule for everyone...make one rule for posting and stick to it and atlest people will come to expect what is happening but this on again off again, is confussing a lot of people and making lots of people think you are picking on them, well that what I am getting from the many emails and PM people are sending me...
yes the board is changing
and yes it seems you are trying to go a different direction
but it was the members and the threads that made the website what it is today and I can only guess the big changes is to try to make money, to get sponsors/ads from this site, instead of it just being a part of a bigger business..which you sure have every right to do.....
