Blog Post
I've only been here a few months, but still find it a shame. This is obviously the same database with a new horrible front end wearing a cumbersome template. If a lot of people don't like it, perhaps they should look at alternative templates. Something with wider posts, smaller font, less wasted space, less scrolling and easier navigation would be good. This doesn't look professional. I also believe in a context such as this people need to have the ability to control their own information so allow editing of both posts and comments. It would be a shame to see activity slip away and more people move over to facebook, as is the trend with regard to forums these days. The advantage this site could have over fb is that it is could be easier to find information and could also provide a smaller more protected communication. If you throw those things away, the community will decline.
