I know this will probably start another fire, but feel like I should say that, while I know that there is the perception by some that I personally was "heavy handed" in my time of helping to administer this board (I resigned from the position about 6 months ago, despite my current "Admin" label), even to the point of being called a "Hitlerator" and worse, virtually every edit that I made on this board was run through and approved by the larger Steering Committee as being appropriate to the goals of the NCFFB.
It was never anyone's intention to take the fun out of the place, just some of the vulgarity, and if you were to review the edits that were made by me, you would see that this was the case across the board.
There are a number of other circumstances, some that have been hashed through publicly on this board, others that have not, that led to many of the differences here. These were completely out of the control of the Steering Committee.
You may ask, "Why have a steering committee?" It is as simple as Greg deciding that he needed to take time away from the board, for personal reasons, that he set up the steering committee to keep things running in his absence. He requested input from a fairly large number of people during the transition to the new board format and those that are on the steering committee the remnant of those who helped with that effort. The fact that there were (ARE) shortcomings in the board software led to a lot of venom being pumped at the steering committee, who took it pretty well, I think, considering the constraints we are under.
That being said, I resigned from the board those 6 months ago because I didn't want to be "in the way" of the board's potential return to its former condition. In fact all of the steering committee has backed way off to let the board regain its own personality.
So, it is up to you. If you liked the old board, be the old board. I don't read or post much these days, I have lost a lot of interest in taking the abuse that I did any longer. I post where I think I can provide positive and/or constructive input, but no more.
