I've lurked here for years, or so it seems. And I've watched it change, certainly over the last three years.

It was gentle, friendly and a place where people could receive help, advice, or a sympathetic ear from just about anybody else. Always a friend available.

I'm not much into new people being welcomed, but no-one seems to any more. And no, I don't need to be welcomed. I actually mean welcomed by someone responding to their needs. People don't seem to do that any more.

I'm here, now. Pun intended. Not, I think, to stay; just to watch. Not to post my issues, because people only post issues. They don't seem to post answers. What happened to the ideals at the top of the board? Is everyone too self centred to work for someone else?

People left because the atmosphere was too odd. And the ones who have much to say stopped positing. Why? It seem to me because no-one ever answered. So they stopped too.

The only way it can come back is if the place is recaptured by those who need it the most.
