This is very true. Many of the longtime members have stated that they have thought about it. Believe it or not, I almost quit the site twice, once in 2008 and the other in 2013, and Racket actually thought about shutting it down a couple years ago.Ack wrote:Serious threads that have caused people to consider quitting or caused them to quit have happened several times in the last few months, from all over the spectrum of folks who visit. It happens.
I will fully admit that I am not a great user. I get in moods where I get pissy/petty, I have times when I am forgetful (especially when it comes to selling things), and I abuse commas which can make my posts hard to read. But the userbase here is so laidback that most any problems usually work themselves out given time. Thankfully I no longer take it personally when someone leaves the site, but it will always sting. It is hard to grow a forum in the current internetscape, but aslong as there are people coming, we will keep the lights on.
That said, I was thinking about AppleQueso yesterday, wondering how she is doing.
