What in the world happened to this site and this forum?!?!?!?!?!?!
What a waste of www space this has become. I go away for a while and come back to a ghost town, no it’s worse than a ghost town since that would indicate the old structure would still be there. What in the world is up with this forum format!
This must be a lesson in how to kill a forum and subsequently a business.

Screw going away for good.
Stick around and try to make something of this thing. The way worse is over.
Admittedly it isn't the easiest thing to swallow, but it wasn't the last time they fuck 'd it up either.
thanks.
i'd have to agree with
you cal..... other than being slow and awkward, the worst thing about the site now is the lack of participation
they have certainly slipped below crtical mass
Man Mike.............
you cal..... other than being slow and awkward,
When I read that I bout fell over. I really thought you meant me.................till I read the "subject" line.
I've found with our new computer that the speed is real good. Not saying it wouldn't be much faster if the jazzy ads didn't require some unseen power to do them. But, youi are dead on as far as the lack of participation-both from the questioners and the former answer-ers. I'd hate to think that some of the old guard wouldn't return for some grudge reason. Admittedly I've worked through some of the BS that's been this new forum. But if I can make heads and tails of it-anyone could.
Everything is what you make of it. This isn't any different.
>>>Everything is what you
>>>Everything is what you make of it. This isn't any different.
True enough. I've actually learned to like the way responses fall in under each other in 'mini threads'.
And I like the way it says:
"by Scott in reply to ......"
The speed is fine too, and the general layout.
Now if only we could get inline pics to work.....(the popup one is great, and in some ways better than before, but there is a place for the inline ones too).
Cal's right... staying away out of a sense of grudge would be unfortunate. This was, and could still be, a most vibrant community.
Here's hoping.
Scott.
I'll Third That
I agree that the site, while different, works OK. Without people, it is just a bunch of useless bits.
It is sad to see many of the same topics in the recent discussions list as were there when I was here a week or more ago. I have to keep coming back for the Farm Blog. I hope Bosshog doesn't feel unappreciated and quit.

He posted today! Albeit in Black & White.
Don't know if that's a sign of impending doom or not.
If it makes you feel any better ... this format is about 10x better than the format they had when they made the switch!!! OMG did they mess it up. Your observations are right on. So is the other poster who said that we're missing a lot of meat here, too (the people who, combined who made this site a real prize). I'm hangin' out to give it another try, but the traffic is WAY off, and you are right on!
Good luck coming back to read this ... you'll find it, but not at a click of the button like before.
reminds me of ....
Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spending cash
You better scrub that kitchen floor
Or you won't rock and roll no more
