also none of the sites you mentioned appear to have language restrictions. which is the only addition to the forum rules. which would be your only other point, which is still left unsupported.

Flscc did install language thingy, but what do you do when people keep breaking the rules? ban them. Ban a few too many and the rest will say goodbye too.

since the new rules have gone into effect, we have had more new members sign up than in the last 2 months and the active member count has gone up by 40+ on average. that is the progress we were looking for.

Your "active" member definition differs from mine. I mean sure two girls signed up who talk all the time, some wayfast clones signed up. If that's what you really want then be my guest.

perhaps your 10 minutes about a shiney ball were impressive to a teacher somewhere along the lines, but for us to make changes to the forums and the rules takes a lot more than some banter supported only by your personal opinion and examples that, at best, half meet the information needed to support what you feel so pasionately about.

my shiny ball example was in refering to how i can just get up and speak about anything. It has nothing to do with this site, it was just an example. [/QUOTE]
I feel like im done, ive shared my opinion and i already said its your website and not mine, I've seen THIS scenario play out more then one time. If you succeed good for you. If you fail ill come back and laugh at you like i promised. Good Luck.
