The deletion of the Complaint and Debate forum, certainly NOT a neat thing, no one has a central place to bitch at any longer so tiny fires spread all over the site increasing the need for admins and moderators to scramble trying to put them out, which results in locking threads and bannings... certainly NOT a smart... nor Neat thing. jack d...you were right on the money about many things...in my book this is your top right on the money statement. as far as banishing competitors???? doh....buy a clue. you keep your friends close, your enemies closer. how much business sense does it make to get rid of folks who are making money selling at another site????? NONE...if they are well known, and, selling here...doh....revenues. most likely more revenues to you than to the smaller site. loosing the big talent is the stupidest thing i have seen r'osity do. and, it has taken so much of the fun that the big brains offered off the boards. so, okay, now, swell....i can look forward, myself and all the alleged 100, 000 members...to the milksop renders in the gallery, by all the newbies who have set up stores, and are fully prepared to "yes massa" to all infinity. afterall...they have many clones, and, are mostly fresh off the aol/compuserve graphics lists.
