Also have to say this. I would shut it down before being a moderator myself, not a prayer I want to be that dude. I'm a hammer, so moderating is not my specialty. Thank you to those who stepped in and took that responsibility, I mean that.

Good luck.

I dont know if you can really say that. Forums of all types have declined in usage with the advent of Facebook groups.
Although banning probably didnt help. IMO the only way a person should get banned is for scamming other members, period.
I disagree. I ain't singling out anyone in particular, but some people are just too f'n miserable to be around any social gathering. Doesn't matter if it's a Facebook group, small town coffe shop or Thanksgiving dinner, some folks just can't interact without making a scene.

I bet if Randy started a new Forum 85 percent of the members here would leave here and join him. Most forums need a high profile person with his charisma to continue to draw new members. Randy is a really popular dude.

The worst ones have a weird charisma of misery, where they make other people feel like they are also supposed to be angry and bitter all the time. I have some relatives who are like this.

BBR for site admin?
I think it was a wish that the new admin wouldn't be in the chainsaw business, and BBR is.
+, I think the forum would have been emptied within a week with all the love and be kind talk.

But I do agree he has a massive cult that follow him.

Wow! It's hit the fan since last I checked. I liked BOTH of the now former mods. I never knew them to be perfect individuals, but they did a thankless job. Now I see a bunch of supposedly grown @ss men doing their best to imitate teenage girls on social media. I did what I could to find out the back story and am sure I missed stuff, but to reference stuff from 2017-18 seems a bit petty. Also, if someone asks a simple question, why not actually answer it. Simply referencing the search function is a dick move. It's been mentioned more than once, but without the FULL context of the issues and what has happened there will be no getting better. I doubt that will happen because it is human nature to add opinion to fact. Wouldn't it be easier to forgive and move on?

As for the decline of usage .......I think that's par for the course. I bet it's very cyclical on forums. Also, people have life changes that affect the amount of time they devote to these forums. If they devolve into these types of crap they devote even less time to them.

You guys have a great day.........and I mean that.
I agree with you, we have to be better than what we have shown in this thread, arrogance and looking down on newer members is not worthy of this forum.

Everyone has been new once, we were treated with respect and dignity when we came here, we should treat newbies as well as we were treated in our time.

I don't know the negative side of this forum, I don't know who and how many Randy has booted out, and whether it was fair or not.
What was done in an unfair way we should reverse, even if the people don't want to return

He's in the money business a lot more than he's in the chainsaw business.
