Two years ago the forum was about 1/10 of the size it is now. We were a lot closer.. The people that were active on here had a sense of trust since we were dealing with the same few members every day.
We see that we are now growing like wildfire. We are working to implement new vendor rules. We never wanted to implement said rules, but we found that as we grew, we got a few crappy members (2lowe = 2BlowMe). I understand your complaints. The informative members that you mentioned like Linux have learned to sift out the bad info.
So, while I understand your complaint, I dont understand the rant. Some of the threads you used as examples were GOOD users warning people of bad vendors. That is very important to a successfull community. So instead of complaining, be proactive and give us suggestions. We want everyone to be happy, but we are regular people. We are doing our best and if anyone knows of anything that will make us better, just let us know.
