So, how many SPCIers got an invite to chat from the new owner? not me you? Yeah, but after seeing the sh!t show of a thread on the front page, I turned him down. I don't believe my opinion would count for anything with so many loud voices yearning to be heard. You should rescind your declination and give a chat with Jeff. If you want things to get better, that's the avenue to do so.
You know, I was heavily invested in the site since I first joined, posting too much, adding 100s of routes to the DB, and doing the thankless, payless job of modding for what, 10 years or so?
For my part, I wish Jeff well in getting what he wants from the site but I doubt that whatever incarnation emerges will fill my needs. Personally I am evolving past the need to read Internet flamefests, lovefests, or even any discussion for the sake of discussion. I have no interest in helping beginners and opening myself up to second guessing by Internet wannabes. The front page pics are in a stranglehold, the routes DB will never surpass MP, news articles will always be posted later than the mags or sponsors report them, and the regional discussions are all but dormant.
The largest upcoming need I can see for a forum is for asking regional questions about my new locale; can you name even one RCer from the Boulder area right now? The Taco & MP are loaded with them; there is a MP Beer Night at the Dark Horse Saloon on Wed night and I plan on bringing my sippy cup of seltzer and meeting a ton of new peeps, and offering my designated driver services if needed.
And as Marge said, the loud voices are screaming what they want from the rooftops, and I refuse to stoop to that level. It just isn't important to me any more.
