I would like to add in one comment here, at one point you were just as new to this forum as many of our newer members here. Just because people have moved on past this forum or have been banned was their decision, its a cycle of life for everything, not just this forum. Just as in life most people move on past one job into another or move out of high school into a university, some just cannot continue to stay here forever. I can understand some of what you are coming from, because you have been a member here for quite awhile and seen many members come and go, but just remember not to take out your disappointment and even perhaps anger onto newer members, they dont deserve it and we are lucky that with what hoops they have had to jump through to try to get a score posted here that they even stayed and have tried to become contributing members to the forum.
Kinda wrote this from emotions first so it may not make as good of sense as i would hope, but it should try to get my point across.
Edit: Oh yeah, and this is somewhat to anyone who may feel that the forum is "going to the dogs" so to say.
