Jason DuncanI have been here a long time. I am more a lurker than a poster. I read almost everyday, but I do not post much. I do think in the past there are alot of OT threads that got shut down that would not be now. I do not know why, other than maybe we are going through a growing phase and Leon possibly does not have time to handle every thread. I have been on here for several years and I have obtained some knowledge through the board. However, I feel the last couple of years I have done alot less reading and more looking at the B/S/T part because I have to filter through about 90% of the OT stuff I dont care for. I really dont mind as long as everyone is treated fairly. I really have no complaint nor do I have a solution. I still feel people like Sloate, TedZ, Jim, and a few others bring up great topics and offer free knowledge on things they research. As far as discussing other items I could care less, but if you have a problem with it just go to CU or some other forum. I actually think the banners were a good idea. However, if the revenue compromises the orginal rules of OT topics for the sake of numbers then that isnt right either. I see no major problems with the way the borad is run now. If more OT topics are allowed in then there will be a problem. Of course, then the problem could possibly cause alot of good, knowledgable people to either leave or post alot less often. I can see some members' frustration, but you are always going to have complainers and whiners and they usually are the same 1-2% of the group. Sometimes you just have to let the "dogs bark". While I agree some threads shouldnt be kept going, the board seems just fine to me and I think you will have those OT from time to time that we should maybe discuss. I think Leon keeps a good medium and what is allowed for now. Just my 2 cents.
