People come & go. Just because someone who's been here a while decides to not be here doesn't mean it's the end of the world.

I can remember a time on this forum when people like Tore, Bulldog, Jackhammer & Mr Dave were not here. Did the forum suck then? No because there were other people there at the time. Those people left and were eventually replaced by the members I just mentioned.

Will a blog make any difference? Personally I think not. I don't come here to read a blog I come here to chat to others. If I want to read a blog i'll read a specialist one dedicated to the subject I want to read about, not an all encompassing one that might not have anything on it that'll interest me.

Personally I think if people go around with their head up their arse complaining 'it's not as good as it used to be' all the time it'll put people off, and then the place really will die.
