Is it surely not though the fact that any issues we have here, or that anyone has, is down more than 90 percent to members? As tore says, the admins, other than Yac looking in occasionally, don't even seem to notice us, up there on their lofty peak in the clouds, and so can't really be blamed I think for any problems we experience. As a community, these are of our own making.

So the next logical step is, if we as a community are at least part of the problem, does not relocating just move the problem to another site? I'm not for a moment suggesting there are people here who are causing problems, and personally I don't really see any though maybe they're more on the mod side of things? But if there are perceived problems, I would have thought maybe tackling the root of those issues here would be a better idea than "running away" or becoming, to use a Monty Python term, "splitters"?

What about setting up a thread, maybe in Editor's Pick, so it has to be moderated, asking people to vent on what their problems, if any, here, are, and work on maybe trying to fix them? I think a more constructive approach rather than a "this place sucks let's go over there" or a Bender "The hell with you! I'll start my own casino! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the casino!" might be something more worthwhile putting our efforts into.

I know I've worked for four years on my journal and would not like to have to restart or reconstruct it, and there are people here who would I am sure feel the same. Also, if another forum was set up, what's to say the same problems would not raise their head down the line?

Not trying to be negative, just think maybe we should look at this a different way?

Oh, and 216: let me be the first to congratulate you on reaching the number of posts in your username!
