It's a decent opinion but that is not it at all. The admin has seen a drastic drop in forum participation. I also see that it is the same people that always post the same BS that they do day after day. It is very obvious to me that he is trying to get user participation back in the forum and as much as you don't like change, at least give it an honest try, instead of bashing it right off the get go!!
I've never seen so many people that won't give what the admin is trying to do, an honest chance. To me, it's really sad. When I first found this forum it was just like Admin is trying to get it back to. I personally never liked the general section of the threads for any of the apartments and couldn't believe that they went to that. The problem they (Admin & the mods) have now is that the few that participate on a daily basis on this forum will never give it an honest chance. They (the few) would rather bitch about it and get it back to their comfort zone instead of giving it an whole hearted try!
Sorry, but I don't agree with how you and others think about the change.
