Maybe.
I have to be one of the posters that's been here the longest. I also don't use any other board of any kind, though I've been known to dabble :e:lsewhere.
I understand the reaction of grown men being told by another grown man not to do something. Frankly, I deal with it on a daily basis. And change sucks almost always for those that enjoy the status quo.
Had Joe asked me I would have said kill the whose hottest stuff, keep the 50 and older thread, and tone down the yoga pants and any other sexually charged picture thread not for any other reason than some of them really needed and age check and many of us stay in here during work---and there have been standards here that while not concrete, have been noticeable.
But those pictures and threads never defined this place. I could easily argue that the community built here was built because that wasn't the definition of this place. We had and hopefully still have something more.
I've had members here reach out me when my wife miscarried and I was so devastated I couldn't function. I've helped real people here with legal work. I've actually suffered emotionally from the losses of some here as if they were family.
Because in this ridiculously stupid technological world we live in, "knowing" someone for almost 20 years by way of a message board basically makes them family if you put a little time into it.
And many of us have put the time into it. It's still worth it. This doesn't change that. For me.
But, note.... I'm about 60% through a new bottle of bourbon and have had to check my spelling so much that auto correct has basically given up.
