This has been bothering me all day & felt I needed to say something else...

"...that fun really doesn't here exist any more - the tone really needs to lighten up some... but it isn't fun enough to be here"

ok... if you feel this forum is no longer fun, maybe you could suggest some ways to make it fun... the mods & coordinator are volunteers & have their own lives to live (as do you all), we will try our best to make this a fun & learning forum but it takes more then us to do this... this is your forum too...

"the combination of people aren't the same..."

it's a shame that it's not the way it was... but people move on & the gallery has multiplied 10 times since then which also needs to be supported & monitored...

it would help if we could continue being supportive & not detrimental while we are undergoing this transition of team members...

I do hope this is taken in the spirit it is given & I realize this may be just "poor timing" on your part... so do take care Mike :]
