i bet u & the staff got loads of posts, messages & emails from your members!
All of them telling u how unfair things were, how badly moderatored they'd been, how someone had said this, how crap u were, moaning about double standards, asking why u weren't online 24 hours a day, why u should make the descions just cos it's your website & u pay it's upkeep.......
oh no, hang on..... I'm getting confussed with maxxd.com
there is a light at the end of the tunnel..
very funny.
Maybe people do have real issues and the thing killing sites is the gap increasing between staff and members. Communication is key here and although there's a bit of scrapping goes off, we all want the same, a successful club, it's just a case of fine tuning how we do it!

I think it may have actually been the admin/staff o nthe site being considerably more mature and used to the "old skool respect" ways that the newuns were just unable or incapable of following.
As someone very wittingly said to me, so many people in cruising are there to ride the wave and dont have any intentions of contributing back!
There seems to be a huge fcuk off sized, almost canyon like, gap between saying you'll get involved, and actually doing it in the cruising world!
Im starting to beleive, on reflection and having taken a step back, that forums kill cruising - people sit online all day talking about it and not actually doing it. Before forums you actually were forced to make an effort to speak to people and get along with everyone - ive found forums split up the groups!
My opinions - soz if ive inadvertantly offended someone - but its SO true lol.
your not far off tonka mate!
We have noticed this too and are hoping the new plans for maxxd.com revealed towards the end of the week will save it and allow people to give something back
