Its a difficult thing, back in 2002 this site was a lot easier to manage. Some people, have now been here so long, they feel they can say anything they like. Another part is when you've been here for a while and you start to see the same question come up time and time again well...
Also now most of mine and Kevin's time is taken up with all the simply stuff, we just don't have the time we would like to dedicate to the forums.
As for the site design well that's horses for courses, I think, some people preferred the old one and some people prefer the new one. I was just trying for something a bit easier to navigate when i designed it, and i hope, at the end of the day that's what we ended up with.
You yourself have been here for a long while now, if you have the time and the inclination give me a shout. We would have no problem, putting you as a moderator on the WIP section of the forum. You've seen something your not happy with, so come sit this side of the table for a bit and help put it right.

I also liked the old site layout/colors. Its just....the SM site colors. It got changed to how it is now (Im not complaining about the site layout and colors or anything, cause it is all really good. And I know Dave and Kevin did ALOT to get it updated, and props go out to them). This whole thing may be just a thing with me not liking change, because things have changed way more than they should have in my life. Again, Im not complaining or anything. Just wanted to speak what was on my mind. I congradulate Kevin and David for running an awsome site.
