Well it would seem that after the tsunami of forum self destruction that was the trend of 2006 until a month ago... has left the eerie calm like you hear after a tornado just tore your house off its foundation.
Is that bad? Nope... just like a house that’s been royally ****ed up by an external force... it gives you a chance to clean up and let stuff start up again.
Do I have any illusions that PC is better for some of the community choosing to leave? and alienating a portion of our readers? Hell no. Do I see a solution that is an easy fix? nope. Do I really care in the end? Not really.
The forums are here to just be a place... a place you can post, get answers, evaluate what people are saying, participate in people of like hobbies.
Personally for me... I am busy this summer I have hobbies ranging from being a TSD rally navigator, Driving autoX, going to races around the country (F1, ProRally, Champ Car, American LeMans, AMA Super Bike, etc...), crewing for a Pro Rally team etc... in the end my time is almost non existent this summer.
The way I see it... is if the community wants a change in direction, change in something on the site, tell me and I will take care of it... otherwise I am content to let the forums to go as it is now and evolve as it wants to.
Contrary to what some naysayer’s said before leaving the site, its not going to go away. It pays its bills with the Google Ad's and works pretty good (as in the site's stability and function). One thing I may attempt to do is start up a motorsports, auto enthusiast website for the midwest region of america. Just because its my current point of interest.
Not sure what pH is up to... prolly stuff that PhD scientists do... like irradiating poo, and playing WoW
So that’s the state of the site.
