You keep going on about change 'being hard' and 'taking time to get used to', as though we are averse to change. This shows (yet again) how little you understand us. We are not averse to change. We have been begging for change for a long time in the forums. We want change. But we mean change for the better.

What we've had is change for worse time and time again: Home page change, Forum software, chat room, Prime, Galleries, Freestuff - every change has made things worse in the eyes of so many. And now this dumb TOS change which is clearly hugely unpopular, in case you hadn't noticed.

Changes for the worse will still be changes for the worse no matter how much you spread them out. Stop trying to divert the problem onto us for being 'against change'. We're not.

And I don't think anyone hates you. But certainly the disgraceful treatment of 3-dArena, the ignoring of questions asked of you in threads, the censoring of valid opinions etc. are not endearing you to some parts of the community.

As for being a great listener, well, there's a difference between being a listener and great listener. That difference is engagement, understanding and empathy with the other person. It might be prudent to just call yourself a 'listener' and let others decide how great you are, pending a demonstration of such qualities?

Thank you so much for listening and have a lovely, wonderful day!
