In a perfect world, the banker wouldn't show up at the home for repossession if the family wanted to stay...

Without a question no one wants to leave, but some times the situation is out of our control...

The good thing is as you are slowly driving away from the home and everyone's eyes are a little misty...

what's most important is, the family is driving away together...

Never follow a leader,
don't ever obey authority,
and never ever believe what you're told.

Long live experience, adventure, and exploration,
the only way to grow your Soul!

Hi Rocky I have a lot of respect for you and posts that you have made.
It just seems that closing down our home is an over reaction to a few challenges.
If we all move then then the challenges remain.
A story.
I had in my varied career a Residential Home for the Elderly. I took on the old staff hen I bought it, they were experienced I was not.
I never had to dimiss anyone.
If a new member of staff was not performing to the high standards of the original ones, then they took them aside and advised them, if no heed was taken to friendly advice then then they were quietly sidelined till they just left, I never had to fire anyone.
Some new people here and yes some old interacted in an immature way, no need to clear the whole house out and begin again. doesnt make sense from a business or ethical point of view. When you start to loose people like Mudra ( a person full of love who never harmed any one) the alarm bells should surely ring loud.
I have respect for our founder members and dont doubt Bill good intention but surely it is madness to throw out the baby with the bath water.
The situation would have calmed down given time.
This forum is visited by thousands of people. If we cant get on here we wont get on in another forum. We have a responsibility to be responsible I know you are Rocky.
This is for others to read.
Chris

I have to say I dislike the design a LOT of AV2 ... why not keep the current design? One of the reasons I liked this forum was the design which is very harmonious

AV2 design is based on Apple (Mac) design .. a platform that I completely dislike with a passion (bordering on hate).. I'm a computer geek so apple computers to me are an insult to my intelligence .. for Pete's sake Apple design looks like a washing machine. I know on Bill's mac it must look great and all but on my PC not so much... Yea sure it is a subjective feeling but it matters to me .. a LOT on how things look and feel whenever I have to focus on them

As for the format? I am all for invite only format... free for all doesn't work in internet settings without serious plunge of energy and lots of flamewars.. as I've been involved with online communities (writing,moderating,administrating) for over 12 years I've seen it happen many times over. The solution is always tight restrictions and ban happy admins
