I do see your views. All I'm saying is that the solution is not to just kick people off because they don't understand. You need to teach them what's okay and what's not okay here.

No. That is a problem, and something does need to be done about it. But not just kick off all the people who are doing it. Yell at them, tell them they can't do it, expect an improvement, and if we don't see it, then kick them off.

I don't see them having fun at your expense. And I'm certainly more than willing to try to sort it out! Just not by removing members from the forums!

Danny, remember the good times we had before this. This forum was something more, something beyond our dreams. Danny, remember all the fun we used to have, just us 4, all thos good memories and good times. Dont you tihnk the forum has lost it's way,
You're right, that was a good time, but it was growing more and more inactive by the day, and I'm happy to see new people having the same opportunity to have fun that you all once did.

That sounds like a threat, Chris. I'm surprised at you for making one, and it won't make me react to this any better. If you love this forum as much as you claim to, it should be no problem to take a couple of the new members aside and tell them where the problems lie and that they should clean up their act or they won't be welcome here. Why do you jump straight to leaving when there's so much more that can be done?
