Quote - Or, so you assume.  The forum userbase is actually a small % of the people that use the site.  That's how it is at most sites.  Not everyone is social.

Case in point.....a good large portion of the posts in the "petition" thread in the freestuff forum is of people who've been members for years...and it's their first post.

Hmmm so a few people complain or say they want something changed and all the people who like it as it is don't say anything so you change it to how the vocal people want it......... doesn't make sense to me. It still would make sense in my opinion to have a poll to see just how many people actually want something and how many don't.
