Quote - Where the admin screwed up (and screwed us members over) was in failing to test the new system properly behind the scenes; and in failing to communicate effectively about the changes. As your post demonstrates, they are still failing miserably to communicate with the members. There are so many people, the vast majority I expect, who have no idea of the options available to them. It's pathetic.

 

Hmm i would just like to point out something here on behalf of all the admin and their lack of communicating with us members about changes.

Talking as an admin myself, you'll find the biggest problem behind the lack of communication is the fact that admins have a dozen jobs to do behind the scenes and in the midst of doing those jobs their mind strays from their main reason for this site being here "its members".

I have fallen into that lack of communication bracket also with the members of a game i'm admin on and not due to any other reason than being busy organising things or making sure everything is going to run smoothly.

So come on all give the admin a fair go, its not easy being in their position and having to stay up until all hours of the night fixing problems on here that crop up out of no where. So they forgot to communicate with use about the changes...big deal, build a 3d bridge and get over it.

 

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
